There is no barbaric splendor about the
court of Japan nor does the emperor in-
sist on fantastic forms of homage. He is
just a plain individual. His guests he re-

conversation with all. There is scarcely
subject that does not interest him or one
on which he is not well informed. A de-
lghtful host, it is his custom to surround
himself with clever men-men who are
shining lights of their professions En-

RIGHT VIEW or %.

The following from the Grafton Sen
tincI is full of sound sense and commends
itself to every fair-rninded, well-mcaning
citizen:
editor Wilbur e. Morrison. of the
Clarksburg Daily Telegram, was made
the victim Of very covardly and I'M
mcrited attack by Street Car Motorman
Ross Hoffman. at Clarksburg. while
standing in the lobby of the Glen Elk
hotel. The Telegram Lad published an
account of some of IIotTmaa's alleged
nisdoin.. and The ir;ltc man. who Is said
to be twice as big and strong as the
newspaper editor. sneaked up behind
Morrison and struck him with the heavy
brass motorman's wrench which he had
carried with him from his ear to tine ho-
tel. MIR Morrison was very seriously
cut and will be laid up for several day
and the wound may amount to more than
ut present appears. Hoffman. who com
mitted the assault. was very promptly
hustled or to Jail. We certainly hope
that when this ease to its final
test the man Hoffman will be given
the limit the law provides in such cases.
This thing of bullies attacking editors
of newspapers for telling the truth-or
even what they believe to be the truth
has come to be "A back number, and such
gentry should be severely dealt with
Mt the hands of Justice. No man of the
present age can expect to raise a row
or do things bordering on the sensa
tionaI or the criminal without getting
his name in the papers. Persons who
have grievance against a newspaper
should take their troubles to court of
law. The days of horsewhippin2 and
public assault arc over and when n man
transgresscs the law of the land and gets
his name in the paper he must abide
by the consequences or get himself into
far worse trouble as is the case with
Hoffman at CIarksburg. This man.
through allowing his temper to get the
best of him, must now face a criminal
court on charge of assault with intent
to Kill, and, should Morrison's wounds
from any cause whatever prove fatal, the
assailant must face charge of murder
He also loses his Job with the street citI
company. Men of Hofrman's stripe arc
very frcquent-far too frequent for pub.
lie safety, i'll fact-and there should be
no faItering of justice in dealing out to
him the full measure of punishment to
which he is entitled. If the newspapers
OF the present age would far forget
their duty as to refrain from publishing
accounts of wrong doing on the part of
anybody and everybody, this country
would quickly be filed with criminals,
md crime would run riot over the land;
fear Of newspaper notoriety has saved
many a man from committing dePreda-
tfons and crimes which the very thought
of, ns he looks back upon the temPta-
ton, makes him shudder. We believe in
giving the news every time, and those.
who merit it must stand undesirable no.
toriety Of reading in print the account
of their misdoings."
