lie opinion-that court mightier than
any organized tribunal at whose bar
are judged all men, events and pur-
poses. Here the press does mighty work.
1t collects the universal opinion, an
nounces its conclusions and whirls
them against all for gloom or glory.
These facts speak most for the uplift
of the nation. and in each the press has
been one if not the great factor. May

al unity, fastening the solution of the
great social problems and bringing all
matters before the court of public opin-

The press has never had a higher ap-
probation or a nobler tribute than this.
1t is even finer than the observation of
Lord Mansfield to a visitor TO the Eng
lish courts who expressed his surprise
to find them attended by so few of the
public No matter. sir replied the
chief justice; I'VE sit every day in the
newspapers" In the view of Justice
Brewer the American newspapers do
more than report the proceedings and
publish the decisions of the court. They
bring ali matters before the court Of
public opinion-a court of increasing
wisdom and power, mightier than any
organized tribunal
Surely these words of the able and
learned justice must impress upon the
directors of all newspapers a deeper
sense of their duty and their RESPONSE

WORD WITH MR.. ALLEN.

Mr.. Henry Allen, who holds the re-
sponsible position Of chairman of the
state board of charities, has taken a
stand in the asylum investigations
which has greatly surprised his friends.
He has continually belittled the out
RACES and attempted to discredit the
startling revelations of the committee.
This position does no credit to Mr..
Allen, who is a young man of remark
able talents and geniahty. 1t is not
necessary for him to defend the man
agement of the institutions simply be-
cause he is at the head of the board of
control. 1t would give the people of
Kansas much more confidence in Mr.
Allen and the state board of charities if
he would admit that the conditions
have been bad and would then set about
to improve them.
It does seem more than a trife
strained for any one to say that the
committee has found nothing startling
when stories of the brutal beating of
patients. the administering Of the water
cure and similar outrages in the asy-
lums have been told and verified before
the committee.
No one thinks that Mr. Allen or the
board of charities is to blame for these
conditions. They have certainly not
known about them or they would have
been stopped long ago and they will un-
doubtedly take steps to prevent their
recurrence. It is not logical for Mr..
Allen to palliate the outrages by say
ing that they are no worse than occur
in similar institutions in other states.
The careful and humane care of the
helpless is the duty of the state The
institution which transgresses the ordi-
nary laws of humanity in the treatment
of the insane is failing in its obligations
to the public.
Let Mr. Allen and the state board OF
charities profit by the revelations before
the investigating committee and place
our institutions on higher plane above
the reach of partisan control and they
will have done enough to have entitled
them to a place in the Kansas Han of
Fame

Indianapolis Journal: Governor Pen
nypacker's approval Of the new libel law
OF Pennsylvania is a startling event
After all that has been said about the
freedom, the power and the influence Of
the press in the United States it is aston
ishing that any legislature would dare
to enact, or any governor to approve, a
law imposing on the press disa Utilities as
CALLING and intolerable as those imposed
by the new law in Pennsylvania. The
object and intent evidently was, first.
10 punish the press for past criticism
OF the ruling powers in Pennsylvania; /;
and second. to muzzle it for the future.
1t is the elimination of political bossism
in an ATTEMPT to stine freedom Of the
press throughout an entire state The
press Of Pennsylvania is not a licentious
one. on the contrary. it is conspicuous
for conservatism and decency. There is
not a yellow" newspaper in the state
1t may have erred at times, but so do
legislatures and courts The new law
was practically dictated by Senator
Quay in revenge for newspaper attacks
on him.

Eve HAYpEN a oHANnE-

The appointment of r. F. Hayden as
probate judge has been the cause Of
considerable criticism of Governor
Bailey and still it was the most natural
thing Governor Bailey could do. 1t
was not slap at the law and order
people nor at the many other candi-
dates who could have secured just as
good endorsements as the successful
candidate. Tt was simply a personal
matter with Governor Bailey and under
the circumstances It would have been
rather strange if he had not appointed
1Ir. Hayden The endorsements Sc
cured by the governors appointee were
certainly a great compliment to him
but nearly any other candidate could
have secured as many. 1t simply gave
Mr.. Bailey a fortifcation to retreat
behind but the truth is that no fortff-

BREWER ON THE PRESS.

The following complimentary editorial
about Justice Brewer appeared as an
editorial in the New York World Of
Wednesday:
One of the most striking and sugges-
tive of the contributions by eminent
men in all the professions and walks of
lie to yesterdays anniversary number
Of the World was the letter of Justice
Brewer of the supreme court upon The
Effect of Free Press on American
Life"
The first service of the press mention
ed by Justice Brewer is one too seldom
recognized. He describes it as .realiz-
ing the constitutional purpose to form a
more perfect uniOn.' and says:
Forty years ago a bitter civil war
prevailed. North and South were enc
mics. Now sectional animOsitias are
disappearing; patriotism is becoming
universal The North eulOgizes Lee:
the South venerates Lincoln New
York resDects Bryan South Carolina
honors Senator Hoar. We are beeom-
ing truly one people What has brought
this about2 knowledge of each other.
We may hate those we know. we never
love those we do not know. The press.
which tells US each morning what all
do and say. helps us to know each 9TH
er. New York knows New Orleans and
San Francisco as well as it does Brook
lyn. Without the press. even with the
telegraph and the postofiice what
strangers we should be- Knowing each
other we find how much alike we are
some defects, but many excellencies. So
by bringing the American people into a
more intimate acquaintance the press
has been making a more perfect un-
ion"
The second service mentioned is the
help which the press is giving to the
nation in graphing with social condi-
tions and problems lin which the mere
light of publicity upon the wrongs and
evils and poverty that call for a remedy
is of the greatest possible benefit.
The definition of the third service is
perhaps the most remarkable of all, as
coming from a justice Of our highest
court. 1t is this.
In the evolution of the court Of pub

nouneement that Mr.. Hayden and his
family had been his neighbors in Nema-
ha county and that he had known him
to be an excellent young man Of good
character and a close personal friend
would have been sufficient
But why open the batteries on Mr..
Hayden at the very outset2 Why not
give him a hearing before he is con-
demned2 He is a young man of good
moral character. He is recognized as
a young lawyer of more than ordinary
talents and there is no good reason to
think that he viii disregard his official
oath and violate the law.
The appointment OF Mr.. Hayden may
be found to be an excellent one. The
people can afford to withhold judgment.
