WHY PHILIPPINE LIBEL LAW IS OPPOSED

. Libel laws enacted by the Philippine
Commission appear satisfactory to
none but those officials who are out
for the graft, and seek safety from the
American newspapermen under a law
that may be Spanish but certainly is
not American. The newspaperman S
side of It is set forth in the Manila

well known here. is the editor:
There is no harsh feeling on the Fart
of the press OF this city, we think we
can safely say, against the the Civil
Commission that is not created, main
ly, by the aggressive and at times ap.
uarently malicious acts on the part OF
three OF the Commissioners toward in
dividual newspaper men. 1t must be
confessed that the newspapers do not
always follow the golden rule, nor do
hey turn the other cheek when
smitten. They are very human and
apt to strike back, one way or another,
So when they find that some OF the
Commissioners were inclined to tncite
criminal prosecution Of newspaper wri'

KINDNESS TO FILIpINoS.

Manila. May 27.-While Second Lieu
tenant Robert c. Humber,o the 10th In
fantry and Sergeant MARKING o the
same regiment were walking about six
miles from Camp Vickers, in Minda.
mao they perceived a single MORO car
rying a flag OF truce. When the native
had approached close to the Americans
he suddenly drew his creez and slash
ed Sergeant MARKING, cutting his arm
completely OFF. Lieut.. Humber at
tempted to shoot the Moro but his re-
volver missed fire and the native escap'
ed in the tall grass.
This incident in the Philippine var
fare, instruction or whatever it Is to
be called gives some idea OF the char
acter of the individuals with whom
our troops have to deal. According &c
the comments made by some Ameri
cans and Judging IRON many ideas cs
poused by the civil commission, Lieu
tenant Humber should have tried NOR
al suasion in convincing this MORO o
the error of his ways in using the HaI
of truce TO commit murder. Yet tni'

what sort of material the army has t.

tween the Commission and American
business men.
When the libel law was proposed.
The American opposed it, inasmuch as
we foresaw that 1t was one-sided and
could not be combatted. We are as
violently opposed to those features OF
the bill today as We were when 1t was
enacted, perhaps more so, as we have
since seen it made weapon of malice
and venom on the part OF at least three
members of the body that framed 1t
and enacted it into a law. We oppos
ed it because it was not logical and i'm.
partially binding on all classes, be
cause it is un.American and capable OF
being made a means of oppression. We
have never regretted opposing 1t and
we have no apologies to make now fof
doing so.
Again, we opposed the Sedition bill.
We pointed out how ambitious and ma.
lignantly inclined men might use it
against the press. We were assured
that would not be the case; that it was
a sort of semi.civil and semi.waT meas
IRE for native application, but we were
not convinced. That We were right in
