The Old scoId Pennypacker.

Gov. Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania,
in his message to the legislature. is
still scolding against the newspaper
cartoonists and calling upon the legis-
lature to- put awful punishment upon
them by providing a law by which
they may be treated as common scolds.
II will be remembered that when
Gov. Pennypacker last essayed to Sc;
statutory net for the cartoonists in
the form OF a severely strict libel Law.
he was the first TO get caught in II
and was forced to- the humiliation OF
making abject apology in order To gain
release from criminal prosecution.
Maybe if the law he now asks for
is granted. and scolding be made i
criminal offense or a common nui-
sance the governor himself viii be the
victim OF the first test case. Certain
~ there is no more persistent and
ilI-natured scold in all the country than
he.
\ free press is the terror of tyrants
and corruptionists. II there is any
patch OF earth where a free press is
needed more than in Pennsylvania. Il
Is not down on the map.
