none for alarm, that much Incorporate
clamor for censorship of the press and
of speech, by law, followed the assas-
sination of President Mckinley. It
would doubtless be unwise, and might
be very disastrous to attempt to incor
porate the European system Of espion
age into our American system. 1t is
we'll to remember that the utmost
freedom in the discussion or criticism
of political policies or personages dis
tinguishes the governments of English
speaking people from other prin-
cipal governments Of the world, and
especially of continental Europe.
Doubtless the only practicable, if not
the only needful, restraint on the press
in this country is the restraint Of all
enlightened and righteous public
opinion: and of that there is sore
need, both in matters private and
political. Last week, in little town
Of Pennsylvania, an ordinary tragedy
was enacted by some people of the
ordinary criminal class. The event
was only of passing public or sociolog-
ical Importance, and it deserves no
public notice beyond brief statement
of facts as they developed. But for
several days the Associated Press
dished up, and the newspapers ostenta-
tiously spread before the public all the
revolving details with side dishes and
condiments and other embellishments
known to the skilled journalistic Ca
terer to the morbid public appetite for
sensation. This selfish commercial
