Tho Freedom Of the Press.
Hon. Samuel w. Mccall Of the Ear
ward district of Massachusetts is one
Of the ablest Republicans in congress.
He is gentleman and scholar in the
true sense Of the terms. / have the
honor to number him among my per-
sonal friends. He has rendered the
country valuable services. hope he
will live to render it many more. But
even the best of men fall into mistakes.
With all due respect, l think this is
what Mr.. Mccall did in his Phi Beta
Kappa address recently delivered at
his alma mater. He stated that there
Is grave danger confronting the coun-
try in the unrestricted liberty of the
press. His fears are entirely ground
less. Thomas Jefferson was right when
he declared that error is harmless when
truth is left free to combat it. In his
first inaugural, which has become a
classic, among the cardinal tenets of
the republic he placed the freedom of
the press. he once declared that be-
tween q government without a free
press and free press without gov
eminent he would choose the latter,
and in all Of these statements he was
correct.
Our experience In government DEM
onstrates the fact that there is no dan
ger in free press. OF course there
are many things printed in the news
papers which should not be printed.
There are many mean and contempti-
bic articles containing vicious lies and
baseless ISLANDERS. but in the end these
do no great amount Of harm. The
courts furnish redress for SANDER and
are always open. But even without
resorting to the courts, men who are
lied about in the public press suffer no
permanent injury thereby. Jefferson
himself Is splendid example Of this.
No man was ever more yillainously
slandered In the press and in public
speech during his life, and for seventy
three years he has been vilifed in his
grave, and yet he stands forth as the
greatest statesman who ever lived. He
IL more quoted today by men Of all
parties than any other statesman what
soever. OF course It would be better
II no slanderous or misleading articles
were published, but 1t is much better
to give free rein, with the right to sue
for SANDER, than to attempt to muzzle
the press. Until this country is ready
for a Caesar, this country will not

Brother McCall's suggestion merely
shows the tendency Of the Republican
party in this country and furnishes an
other reason why 1t should be hurled

Hollands Unhappy Queen.


Queen Wilhelmina is only about twenty

q girl; yet already she has lost all trace Of
her old sladsomeness, all trace of her old
vigor. She seems to look at life now from
the standpoint of q middle aged woman,
one who 10 more prone to fear than to hope.
The loss of her child was for her, as for eli
Holland. terrible blow. Then not only has
her marriage proved a failure. not only ~
she tied for life to a man between whom
and herself there is no sympathy, but she
has had to sing Tekel over the friend In
whom she placed all her trust.
1t was a rude shock for her. no doubt,
when she found that the kaiser was playing
fast and loose with the Beers, and had no
thought of risking q single soldier for their
sake; but it was q much ruder shock whan
she found that all the while he was talking
to her as If his one wish on earth was to
help her and serve her, he was schemins
against her-scheming to rob her people OF
their independenoe-nay. mora. was using
her as a tool wherewith to tempt them intd
paths fraught with danger.
Thus she knows now that he on whom she
used to look as her all-powerfui protector
is the enemy Holland has most to fear; and
Holland is dearer to her than life She n

because she allowed him to estrange her
from England. the one power that could

she has not yet given them an heir. Mean
while there are industrial troubles In her
own country. troubles of all kinds in her
colonies, and the Achinese are proving

Special to THE OAsIs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Saturday, Nov. 26, 1904. The market for the week is about steady on all kinds except she stuff of all descriptions. Corn fed cattle have been scarce, and the quality only medium. Top prices for the week $5.85, but any thing choice would have brought $6 % or more easily, as there were urgent orders held here Tuesday and Wednesday for choice export cattle. None were to be had, how ever, and the best quality of steers would have made q gain of 10 to 25 cents this week, if any of that kind were coming now. Most of the corn fed steers sell at S450 to S5.25. Grass steers held up nearly steady, at $500 to S4.75, but there were some signs of weakness on these, which will become . positive decline in the near future when cattle begin to go back little in flesh. There was a severe break of 10 to 20 cents on cows and heifers Monday and Tuesday, about steady since. Grass stuff sells at $2 25 to S3.75. Gamers lost about as much as cows. Some choice corn fed heifers sold at $500 Tuesday, and other sales were at $4.25 to $4.50. week, at $500 to $500. There has been a very good demand for stockers and feeders last two weeks,

PHILO BENEFITS
WILL Is UP AGAIN
William J. Bryan Has Some Hard
Propositions to Overcome.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March 90
Philo S. Benefits will was admitted as
a competent document for probating by
Judge Edwin B. eager, of the superior
court, following the first days hearing
in the appeal of William ]. Bryan from
the decision Of the probate court, which
disallowed the sealed letter. giving
Mr.. Bryan $4,000. The chief conten-
tion-the admissibility of the sealed
letter. as evidence-was being argued
by counsel at the time court adjourned
for the day. Former Judge Stoddard,
senior counsel for Mrs. Bennett and
the other heirs, fought every inch of
the ground over which the appellants
moved in their efforts to introduce evil
dence.
Practically the whole day was taken
up in the effort of Henry G. Newton,
counsel for Mr.. Bryan, to have admit
ted as evidence the will, "the sealed
letter. and a typewriter copy of the
sealed letter." and this necessitated a
repetition of the probate court proceed
ings, only at greater length.
Judge Stoddard said in his argument
that the main question was whether
veying any part of the estate and
claiming to be part of the will can be
part of the will when not in compli-
ance with the statutes and which Is not
signed by three witnesses according to
law. He said there is no authority that
a paper executed as this is and COM
ing into existence as this did, that was
ever admitted to probate as a part of a
will.
Mr.. Newton will reply to Mr.. Stod-.
dard tomorrow,

SENATE CHANGES
POSTOFF|CE BILL
Committee Actually Adopts an
Amendment Proposed by
a Democrat.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
The senate committee reported the
postoffice appropriation bill today, and
it will be taken up in the senate to-
morrow. The bill will carry not more
by the house, except for an emergency
measure incorporated in the bill. The
house bill provides for the rental Of
the Pennsylvania railway site in New
York city for postoffice purposes, but
the committee decided that it would
be better business policy to buy the
site. Therefore, an appropriation Of
$2,000,000 is made for that purpose.
Among the important amendments
are the following:
The salaries of rural free delivery
carriers are fixed at 1920 a year, and
the carriers are permitted to carry
merchandise for hire and receive sub
scriptions for and deliver newspapers
ton does not interfere with the proper
discharge of their duties The car
riers shall not discriminate against any
newspaper which desires to employ
them.
Senator Clay's amendment increasing
the salary of the purchasing agent for
the postoffice department to $4,000 and
requiring that all supplies must be
bought by competitive bids, the con-
tracts to be given to the lowest bid
ders and that a schedule of the bids
must be sent to congress annually, was
adopted.
The committee adopted an amend
ment for the retransfer of the free de-
