" POLITICAL LIARS"
So DR.. Abbott Calls Some vilifers of Parker,
Roosevelt and Cortelyou.
From The Outlook.

From The outlook,
From this time until the election the wise
citizen Will be his guard against exaggerated
reports, lying reports and haSrant forgegiss- II
is easy set these in circulation il is 'lL oSSi-
BILE to kill them when once they Hre started
their travels. For example; Some con-
scienceless reporter had attributed TO Judge
Parker the saying that "a dollar day IS enough
for laboring man" This particular Tar lacked
inventive genius and had to borrow old lie.
for the same saying was attributed TO Mr.
Beecher wears ago He was also a stupid liar.
for he ventured to state when and where Judge
Parker said il. and the suppOSa witnesses
straishtway came forward with explicit GenialS.
The New-York Evening Post a few We ekS azsO

Roosevelt might have written" and put his name
to 1t. \ criminally careless reporter. or. more
likely, shrewd liar seized on TINS fictitious let
ter. and gave II circulation as one which AIr.
Roosevelt really did write. A New-York jour
nal few weeks ago reported that Mr.. J. Pier
pont Morgan had visited Oyster Bay in his
yacht. that the President and Mr.. Morgan had
a conference, and that, as a result of certain
pledges then made. MIR. Morgan promised Mr
Roosevelt his support The whole story was a
lie. without even a thread OF truth in il. Air.
Morgan had not visited oyster Bay. no confer
ence had oeen held between Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Morgan, or between any representatives OF
these gentlemen, and no pledges OF any kind had
passed between them. The whole story was a
fabrication from beginning to end So is the
story published editorially in "The New-YOTk
Times" that MT CortelyOu. the chairman OF the
Republ can National Committee. is collecting
campaign funds from great corporations with
implied or expressed pledges that the contrib
utors Snail be exempt from leSal proceedings II
Mr.. Roosevelt is elected. To be perfectly eX-
pltcit. its reported concrete instance is an alb
soiute unqualified falsehoOd. with no grain of
truth IN or under ii 20 give IL even a sembl1nce
or reality. Another lie of a similar character is
one which we believe originated with The Pitts
burg Post" that I'm some OF the Southern
States, notably Alabama the President has
constituted a board Of white and negro poll
uclanS, TO whom has been romitted the control
or federal patronage, with the negroes in q
majority" The story is n pure fabrication. The
only negro with whom the President mas con-
suited about appointments is Booker T Wash
lnstoh. What the pest Southern people think
about his appointments In the Southern States
notably Alabama and about his consulting
with Dr. Washington, is indicated by the fol-
lowing recent article on this subject fror1 erThs

JAPANESE
CONTRACTS CLEAR

The Oahu Sugar Planters Associa-
ton has taken steps to secure better
transations of the profit-sharing con-
tracts which the members of the as
ISOLATION are using with Japanese. This
is in line with the suggestion we have
more than once made before, that the
plantation managers try to get better
understanding with their laborers. 1t
will prevent much trouble such as
might have been prevented in the past.
An investigation of the matter will
show the average manage, that n large
proportion of his employees do not UNI
derstand their duties under the con-
tracts they have entered into Many
japanese association enters into a
profit-sharing contract without having
anything like fair knowledge of the
terms of the contract. The result is
that when the manager strictly carries
out all the provisions the Japanese are
surprised by discovery of features they
never knew of. They are suspicious
that they have not been fairly dealt
with If the discoveries are to their dis
advantage, and even If convinced that
the provisions were in the contract all
the time, they are rightly disappoint-
ed at finding their earnings less than
they had all along been expecting.
Many of the translations are in lam
guage too high for the laborers. The
translations of the technical law terms
Of the English language into high class
University japanese produces a lot OF
terms of which the average laborer
never heard. Consequently he does not
correctly understand his status until 1t
is brought home to him by n disappoint-
ment in income. which Is a poor means
Of bringing such information home.
The plan OF the Oahu planters. to
take more care to see that the profit
sharing contracts are all thoroughly I'M
derstood by the Japanese, is an impor-
tant step in the right direction. Let
the translating be IN the right dialect.
and the most simple terms that can
be employed.-Hawaii Shinpo.

SAYS THE PRESS
MUST Be FREE

ASHEvILLE IN. CO., June 90
Judge J. C. Pritchard of the United
States Circuit Court today filed his
opinion in the celebrated case OF Jo-
sephus Daniels. Daniels, who is editor
Of the Raleigh News and Observer.
had been fined $4,000 for contempt of
court by District Judge Purnell. Judge
Pritchard's opinion will be recognized
as an authority in regard to news
paper utterances that might be con-
strued as contempt Of court. The text
OF the decision in part follows:
1.-The force of public opinion in this
country in favor of the freedom OF
the press has restrained the free ex-
ercise of the power to punish this
class of contempt, and in many juris-
dictions statutes have been enacted
depriving the Court of the power to
punish them. 1t was taken from the
Federal courts by act of Congress
of 1881, which act deprives these courts
of the common-law power to protect
by this process their suitors. witnesses,
officers and themselves against the
libel of the press, though published
and circulated pending the trial OF a
case therein.
THAT newspapers sometimes en-
gage in unwarranted criticism of the
courts cannot be denied. In some
cases they construe the liberty of the
press as a license to authorize them
to engage in wholesale abuse of the
Court: but these instances are rare
and do not warrant a departure from
the well-settled principles of the law
as declared by Congress and construed
by the courts. If Judge charged
with the administration of the law Is
not to be criticised on account of his
official conduct, the liberty of the
press Is abridged and the rights OF
individuals imperlled.
There may be instances where the
publication OF editorials or other mat
ter in newspapers would bring the
author within the Limitations Of the
statute. For instance. II n newspaper
should publish an article concerning
trial which was being considered by.
jury and should send a copy of the
paper containing such article To the
jurymen thereof during the progress
OF the trial for the purpose OF intiu-
encing them In their decision. 1t would

Fined.


a year OF 50 ago Mrs. ooe''c"er anu
Mrs. Nellie b. Haley OF Denver, were
guests in Honolulu at the Hawaiian
Hotel They went on to Japan and
China, and were through passengers
on a steamer for San Francisco. There
they were held up by the Customs in
spectors and charged with attempting
to smuggle valuable goods into the
country.
Valuable silk rolls were found con-
cealed in dresses. and all manner of
trinkets and jewelry were disposed of
in trunks and satchels to elude the
vigilance of the Customs people. The
following item in the San Francisco
Examiner of July tells of the DISPOSE
ton of the matter:
The attempt of the army to bring
Government influence to bear in favor
of Captain William II. Harris, when
that officer of the army was recently
charged with attempted smuggling, has
failed. Yesterday Judges de Haven of

"A travelling man stopped at hotel at
Monticello. The proprietor told him he
could not lodge him, not a room in the
house. said a commercial traveller. THE
travelling man protested. He must have
room. Finally the proprietor told him there
was a room, a little room separated by a
thin partition from a nervous man, a man
who had lived In the house for ten years.
g He is SO nervous, said the landlord, 1

I'll be SO quiet he'll not know I'm there

He slipped in noiselessly and began to dis

after another as quietly as burglar. At
last he came to his shoes He unlaced a
shoe, and then, man-like, dropped 1t.

noise. The offending traveller, Mortified at
what he had done, waited to hear from
the nervous man. Not a sound. He took
OFF the second shoe and placed 1t noiselessly
upon the floor. Then In absolute silence he
finished undressing and crawled between

Half an hour went by. He had dropped

A TEST OF FAME.
Shifting Quality of Homage Disclosed
in Autograph Catalogue.

From the Providence Journal
Fame is at best an uncertain thing and
perhaps by no test can Its exact measure
be taken. The heroes of one generation
may be forgotten by the next. But the de-
mand for a personal memento OF the object
of ones admiration is well-nigh universal.
Nothing is more eagerly cherished. for ex-
ample, than the relics of a martyr, and
brash reformers in religion have desecrated
shrines because OF the silent appeal they
made against reform. Thus, too, after the
execution Of Mary Stuart great pains were
taken to burn everything she had worn,
and to see especially that no single drop of
her blood was left anywhere for the faith
full to venerate. Since most persons of high
repute die In their beds their admirers have
to be content with less painful reminders;
and among such autographs easily hold the
first place. Is 1t too much to say, then,
that the value placed upon an autograph is
In some degree the test of the writer's
fame? If 1t be, the prices appended to a
recent catalogue OF autographs testify to
the evasive and shifting quality of human
Applying this test we find some curious
yerdicts upon certain statesmen. living and

Chamberlain is twice as great a man as
Mr. Balfour. A signed note from him is
quoted at dollar and a half whereas one

One of Mr. Giadstone's famous postal cards
is offered at dollar. But Mr.. Gladstone
was too reckless with his epistolary favors
and depressed the market Macaulay's
handwriting brings six dollars; but his
place is with the men of letters, rather
than with the statesmen. In American
politics the voice of fame is even more sur
prising. A document signed by Andrew
Johnson brings within twenty-five cents as

Yellow Journalism.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t Is not service, nor even alleged service,
to the public that constitutes yellowness:
II Is boisterousness, Wanting. Torbidness,
extravaganza, the magnifying of slight ac-
ctdents into tragedies and bonfres into
holacausts. Whatever 1t may be to the ten
enent man who takes the Journal that
paper is not credited by more experienced
readers until they find the news duplicated
In the white papers. We do not doubt that
many minds are stocked with facts that
arc not so, because they read them In the
yellow journals, never learning what has
really happened. White papers are some
times taken in by dispatches from Europe,
because yellowism exists there as we'll as
here; but they do not originate those dis
pstches; they do not dress up news in
the home office; they print only what they
believe to be true, and print II without
trying to make the reader believe that 1t
is the most awful. the most tremendous
thing that ever happened.
Sensationalism is like other agencies for
excitement in that II creates a constant
tendency of the yellow paper is to grow
yellower and yellower, because any lapse
into sobriety and calm is resented by its
almost illiterate patron. He must be kept
going by mental stimulants which are just
as harmful to him as cocktails. He wants
his news strong rather than true and if
he ever reads an editorial he wants ii to
reflect his view of his right to other men s
property and place; he wants 1t to excuse
the baseness of his politics and the bru-
tality of his trades union; he does not want
II to preach or inform. but only to rouse.
And IL Its editor thrusts himself into his
vision and modestly announces himself as
the greatest of men, the readers mind has
been brought by his reading to a state that
makes him almost ready to admit 1t.
