Muzzling the press, or rather at
tempting to do so, Is the occupation
of those who most fear publicity.
Perhaps the individuals In 4u estion
may derive some satisfaction by
merely the attempt at the"muzzling
business" but this Is a very narrow
view of the matter. Newspaper
men, like all others, are human aud
therefore, make mistakes occasion
ally. That they are not infalltble
goes with out saying. They some
times publish things which should
not be published. But, as against
this, consider the immense amount
of good they accomplish In the
way of exposing crookedness and
righting grevious wrongs. 1t can
not be denied that the good deeds
performedgreatly outweigh the bad.
