DENOUNCE THE BILL
Pennsylvania Editors Hot Over the
New Libel Law
ARGUED 1T BEFORE THE GOVERNOR
Representatives of Every Important
Newspaper In the State Appeared
in Oppo sition.

Harrisburg, Pa, Special.-Every i'm
portant newspaper in Pennsylvania
was represented at the hearing on the
Grady-Salus libel bill by Governor
Pennypacker in the nall Of the House
OF Representatives. Attorney General
Carson sat with the Governor through
out the hearing, but neither indicated
what would be the Governors action
on the measure. The opening speech
was made by Charles Emery Smith, Of
The Philadelphia Press. At the outset
OF Mr.. Smiths address Governor Pen
nypacker took exception to his use Of
the word "insolently" and suggested
that it would be we'll for the speakers
to omit strong adjectives. Mr.. Smith
accepted the suggestion, saying at the
same time that he spoke strongly be-
cause he felt strongly. Mr.. Smith said
in part:
This bill is utterly powerless to
stop the particular kind Of publication
which 1t aims at, but it encompasses
legitimate publications with an un-
limited network of embarrassment and
vexation; it would cripple and curtail
the presentation OF the regular and
proper news Of the day; it would start
up whole swarm of speculative shys-
ters and curbstone blackmailers; it in
fringes the just and constitutional lib
erty OF the press and would impair that
valuable protection for public morals
and public rights which Is found in the
searchlight of publicity; 1t is special
legislation in undertaking to make a
law for newspapers while excepting the
weekly newspapers from its opera
tions; it perpetrates gross wrong in
seeking to fasten the principals re-
sponsibiiity upon the agent, where the
agent not only does not commit the Of
tense but where he has not even the
power to prevent it."
Alexander Simpson, Jr., and Rich
ard c. Dale, both Of Philadelphia,
spoke in favor Of the bill, and Thomas
V. Cooper, member OF the Legisla-
ture and Cyrus G. Day, an attorney,
against it.
The libel bill provides that civil ac-
tlon may De Drougnt against any own
er or managing editor Of any newspa-
per published in Pennsylvania to re-
cover damages resulting from negli-
gence on the part Of such owners or
managing editors in publications af-
fecting the character, reputation or
business of citizens, and that compen-
satory damages may also be recovered
for "the physical and mental sufferings
endured by the injured parties" and
whenever such publication Is given spe-
cial prominence by the use Of cartoons,
etc., the jury shall have the right to
award punitive damages against the
defendants. 1t also provides that every
newspaper published in Pennsylvania
shall publish on the editorial page, the
name of the owner, or owners, togeth-
er with the name of the managing
editors.
