We do not know of any reputable press
in America that is not willing to take
it's chances in the courts of the country
upon the truth of any controversy be-
tween itself and it's prosecutors. If it
tells the truth about men it should not
be punished with prisons or mulcts when
such truth is told for the public service.
If it tells what is false and manifestly
malicious it should pay the penalty of
it's offense in like manner with other
persons.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to find a
judge taking this sane view of wanton
libel suits against the press, the purpose
of the prosecuting being to deter or
punish legitimate criticism, that was ex-
pressed by the California jurist. He was
clearly right in making the plaintiff pay
the costs to which he had spitefully and
unjustly put the defendant. And we trust
his example will find general imitation

A California judge has lately perform
ed judicial act which must win for him
the approval of all newspaper men and
fair minded citizens.
An important financial magnate, ag-
grieved by the criticisms passed upon his
scheme against the public interest. sued
the newspaper that dared to expose him
for criminal libel. His lawyers, how
ever, finding that he had no contestable
case, moved to dismiss the proceedings
against the newspaper The judge re-
fused 20 allow the dismissal unless the
plaintiff would pay the costs of court
and the expenses of the newspaper in
the case, amounting to $50.
This learned jurist remarked that the
libel law was used he feared, too often
as mere process for depressing and in
timidating the free press of the country.
He thought cases of criminal libel
brought by public or semi public persons
against newspapers on account of ex-

Everything went lovely until Tom
came up to Washington, several months
after assuming his new duties. In the
course of his visit he called at the
White House for a conference with the
President. After talking generalities for
awhile, Tom noticed that the President
seemed to have something on his mind;
didn't appear to be as frank and cordial

what the trouble was, limiting that the

There are many cautious statesmen in

One of Judge Culberson's constituents
had wagered that he could get definite

proposition so unlikely that it created no
little excitement in the Texas town in
which the judge resided. 1t had been
stipulated that the bet should be decided
in front of a livery stable, where Judge
Culberson liked to spend some of his
leisure bours.
