GOVERNOR PENNYPAcKER in his
statement Of reasons and apology for
signing the press mueller. practically
admits that he did it because they made
pictures Of him and says that in Eng
land, a century ago, the publishers
wonld have been drawn and quartered.
That's the period to which his ideas be-
long According TO him the newspapers
are responsible for the deaths of Presi-
dents Garfield and Mckinley and are
the worst enemies the government has.

That Libel Bill Signed.

Governor Pennypacker heretofore has
handled the legislation that has come
before him with intelligence and
copscientiousness, but when it comes to
signing the Libel bill that has been de-
nounced from one end Of this broad
land to the other we cannot agree with
him that he has acted wisely.
he thinks that every reputable news-
paper ought to welcome the bill, but the
plain fact remains that, 20 far as we
know. not one single reputable journal
in Pennsylvania has failed to oppose the
measure, and there will not be one that
will not follow this blow at liberty un-
til it is wiped off the statute books. We
believe it to be thoroughly unconstitu-
tional. an attempt at such utter de-
spotism that il might even be carried
before the Supreme Court of the United
States If necessary.
There is no doubt that public men
have been abused most shamefuliy by
some journals, and because Of this abuse
the bill was put through the Legisla.
ture. under orders and in a manner that
was not regular. 1t was hoped by
political victims that this measure
would stop abuse.
1t won't. Under the law that did ex-
ist until the Governor attached his
: name 70 THIS new one there was every
opportunity for libel suits and the coll
lection Of damages. There was every
protection. II under the old law poll
tician did not dare 10 go into the courts
and sue be won't dare to now. Newg-
papers that have assailed in the past
will continue to assail just the same,
aud they will be just as exempt from
prosecution. The very point that the
law aims at will not be attained. 1t is
absurd to think otherwise.
The Inquirer is not in the libeling
business, and so far as it is concerned it
il not affected. Its concern is not per-
sonal, but it is deeply concerned in the
attempt to throttle that freedom Of
discussion which the Constitution Of
Pennsylvania especially grants and
which the Constitution Of the United
State upholds by prohibiting Congress
from making any laws denying it.
With all due respect to the Governor
we cannot but feel that the spirit
breathed by this law Is that which
might have been expected in the dark
ages, spirit opposed to freedom of dis
cussion, to liberty and independence.
OF course, such a law will not stand,
but meanwhile Pennsylvania will at
tract the eyes Of the other States Of the
Union. before which it will be placed in
a most unfayorable light. Inquirer.

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-10-20

tablished the loneliest and most dan
gerous mail route in the world.
The mail carriers travel on foot
over sixteen hundred miles of the
route, and one stretch of nearly eight
hundred miles through a desolate, I'M
Inhabited country has to be covered
by single postman. The Yukon mail
carrier must travel with his dog
sledge along river piled up with
blocks of ice like the boulders on a
hillside.
The river is several miles wide in
places, and sometimes the surface is
so broken by hillocks of ice and snow
drifts that it's winding course cannot
be distinguished from the land. The
carrier then has to don his snowshoes
and break new trail for the dogs
over the trackless waste.
Theodore Blum started to do this
one morning. 1t was on the Yukon
flats, just inside the Arctic circle,
where the river is nearly fifteen miles
vide.
He carried long fir pole with him;
his dog team following him, and when
he felt the ice giving way he threw
down the pole and rested mis- weight
on it. But even though his weight
was thus distributed it did not always
save him from ducking. He broke
through no fewer than six times in
his endeavor to cross the river. and
narrowly escaped being frozen before
he could reach one of the shelters.
Ben Downing, the most famous of
the mail carriers, narrowly escaped
death at the close of last season. 1t
was spring time and the sun an hour
before and after noon softened the
snow and made travel difficult. so
most of his travelling was done in the
night.
He left his station at L o'clock in
the morning, putting laced moccasins
on the feet of his dogs to prevent the
sharp ice crystals from cutting Them.
He had made twenty miles and was
going along at a clipping pace, his
hands on the bars of the sled, when
he heard the ice crack under his dogs.
He halted them with word and
planted his feet rigidly to break the
momentum of the sled. This sudden
throwing of his weight in. one. place.
broke the ice, and down he went,
The sagacity which comes to the
dogs from daily going through such
experiences enabled them to drag
him on to the solid icei and away they
