A Sane View.

Dubuque Telegraph-The courts
conception of the newspapers duty is
correct in SO far as he discusses the
subject. He might have proceeded to
greater length and sanctioned editorial
censure Of public officials or individuals
which is intended to conserve the best
interests Of the community and it's citi-
zens. The court holds that lie
the allegations are substantially true
and if their publication is not produced
by malice, that they are not libelous.
This is a sane view. because it admits
that while some of the details may be
in error, if the purport of the charge is
correct that grounds for redress do not
exist.
Just and Liberal Decision.
Sioux City Tribune-This is one of
the>most just and liberal deliverances
from the bench on the subject the Tri-
bune has ever noted. The rarity with
which a newspaper is convicted of libel
proves that courts and juries properly
realize the position of the newspaper
man. He has duty to perform in CIV
ing the news and telling all the truth
which concerns the public or society.
Nor is he unmindful of his duty in the
direction of making prompt and ample
amends for a misstatement about any
one, innocently made. The man with a
real grievance against newspaper can
obtain full justice by calling on the edi-
tor, and it is not the man with real
grievance who brings libel suit In
nearly every instance the suit is COM
menced by man about whom the truth
has been told and who does not think
the newspaper has any right to tell it.

NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.
High Water Not Expected Unless There is a
Heavy Rainfall To>Day.

Unless there is a steady ana, heavy fail
of rain to-day there will be no high
water at this point resulting from the
precipitation. At the Chesapeake and
Ohio offices last night no overflow was ex-
pected, and MIR. E. a. Evans, section
director of the Weather Bureau, did not
think the river would be greatly affected
by the rainfall up to that hour. Rain or
snow is expected again to-day, however.
and if it comes in any large quantities
it may change the aspect of the situation.
The precipitation yesterday was gen
eral over the entire State and along the
route of the river. Up to 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon about one and one-half inches
