QUAY TRIUMPHS.
Measure Enacted by the Legis-

Has at Last Been Approved by
Gov. Pennypacker.
MAKES HIS EXCUSES.
He Attempts to Justify 1t in a
Long Statement.

HIS EXCUSES.

Harrisburg, May Ex-Governor Pen
nypacker has approved the Grady-SaMs
libel bill. and at the same time issued
a long statement giving the reasons for
his action. The bill. which was in the
governors hands for more than
month goes into effect Immediately and
repeals all laws or parts of laws incon-
sistent with the new act.
The governor says in his statement
that the questions raised by the bill are
of very grave Importance and affect
large business interests, the freedom of
speech and the press, the right of the
citizen to be informed concerning cur
rent affairs and the conduct of govern
ment, as well as his right to protect his
reputation and home from the injuries
that rise from careless or negligent as
well as malicious false report
The governor says there is nothing in
the terms of the measure which pre-
vents any newspaper from making such
comments upon legislative measures or
upon the official acts of state, munich
pal, county or public officials as are
proper Information for the public or are
in the line of legitimate public discus
sion.
Continuing he says THE bill in its
application is not confined to officials
but affects as well, the citizen or bust
ness man whose conduct constitutes no
part of the right of the public to in
formation. The corporation officer who

he said. rand wherever there was a lit
tie slope to the land it has washed out.
And where it did not wash out it was
covered SO deep that it will be hard for

fourths of the listed corn will have to

acres myself. and while it is so level
that it would not wash out, it is prob
ably buried pretty deep. We had five
inches of rain in a very short time and
1t washed things all right. The chief
disadvantage Of having to list the corn
again is that it makes it so late. It will
be cleans though.
Governor Bailey says that he hasn't
got all of his corn in yet on his farm
in Nemaha county. He is planting 250
acres.

own the Burr Oak ranch, but I lease it.

Duss. They are misjudged just like
the mule. A mule has plenty Of sense
They are called stubborn, but they are

to a dangerous embankment he won't

treacherous and others are foolish, like
the horse.
