Governor Pennypacker as a Libeller

Governor Pennypacker as Libeller.
The Governor of Pennsylvania, in his
recent written memorandum approving
the new Grady -Salus Libel law, libelled
a newspaper man by calling him an
utcast.' The victim having demanded
an apology, with the threat of a libel suit,
the interesting question arises whether
an action for libel can he maintained
against the Chief Executive of State
when the libel has been published by him
in the exercise of executive or quasi
legislative functions.
II is the settled law tha, no action for
SANDER or libel will lie against Judge
or one exercising judicial functions
for anything he may say or write in
his judicial capacity. Legislative pro-
ceedings, in the same way are also
privileged, and no State or Federal
legislator can be called TO account out
side of the legislative chamber for any
thing he says or writes within it as q
legislator. This immunity is guaran-
iced in this State by our Constitution
which provides that for anv speech
or debate in either house of the Legislat-
ure the members shall not be ques-
toned in any other place" And this is
the settled law, whether guaranteed by

PLEA FOR A REFORMATORY.

The last issue of the McHenry News
contains the following very sensible
and timely advice which is respect
fully referred to the state law makers:
"A series of robberies in Hatties-
burg, perpetrated by crowd of boys
who had organized what they styled
1.-THE Copeland clan," formed for the
express purpose of stealing and rob-
bling, led to the arrest of the young
thieves, and upon search their rendez-
vous was discovered in which they
had stored about $500 worth of stolen
property. They will no doubt be sent
to the penitentiary. In such a case as
this is felt most strongly Mississippi's
need of state reformatory. These
boys, who might otherwise become
useful and honored citizens, if sent to
the penitentiary, even if to serve but
a short time, will almost inevitably
become hardened criminals and hood
lum toughs. To allow such things
when there is so clear remedy is
nothing short of criminal, and meas
ures should be taken for the establish
ment of an asylum for such young in
corrigibles.

The next greatest war of words
likely to occur in this country soon
will be the argument betewen some
people who believe as they were
taught at college and the engineers
and river commissioners employed by
the government at good salaries to
watch the waterways of the country.
These engineers and commissioners
will contend until they drop dead
that the channel of the Mississippi
river will finally be secured out if the
levees are kept up, though this work
has been going on forty years and the
bed of the river is higher now than
then, while some people and papers
are going to contend that the only
solution is to make all the outlets that
can be had. The outlet system should
at least be given trial since the levee
system appears to be a failure.
