Libel Law Condemned

The Streeter libel law is con-
demned throughout the state and
very justly so. The following
from the pen of W. G. Taylor, of
the LaMoure Chronicle, express
ses the sentiment of a large ma
jority of the newspapers of the
state:
The most questionable-we
almost had said the most damna-
ble-act of this assembly was
the enactment of what is known
as the Streeter libel law. No
matter what may have been the
purpose of the author of the bill,
there can be no question as to
the motive of many of those legis-
lators who. fairly tumbled over
each other in their mad haste to
muzzle the press. These same
fellows had been scourged by the
Independent newspapers of the
state for the betrayal of a sacred
trust; smarting under the blows
they had so richly earned, these
gentlemen were more than ready
to apply the balm of An act de-
ining criminal libel and provid-
ing punishment therefor And
so they passed this bill, which
declares that any printing, writ
ing, sign, picture or ehgy that
shall expose a person to public
hatred, contempt or ridicule or
deprive him of the benefits of
public confidence and social in
tercourse,' is libel, and the per-
petrator thereof is guilty of a
felony. There are newspapers,
1t is true, which sometimes go
too far in their criticisms of pub
lie men. These should be curb
ed, and our libel laws have al
ways been adequate for that pur-
pose. There are men in this
state whose official or public
records cannot but expose them
to the hatred, contempt and ridi.
cule of the public, and they have
already deprived themselves Of
the benefits of public conf.
dence.' With the logic of the
ostrich, who sticks his head ir
the sand and thinks himself hid
den, some of our Legislators
thought to hide their records be
hind a stringent libel law and {
muzzled press. Others were
misled into voting for the bill be
cause it was introduced by {
newspaper man. The law itsel
amounts to nothing; truth il
never libelous, and it is the truth
that hurts. It is what the legis
lators hoped to accomplish by
this measure that dams it ever
lastingly."

THE BEEF TRUST FARCE.

The National ProvisiOncr publishes

he Is Il competitor Of the trust. Unlike
other competitors, who are now clam.
oring for equal rights to all he would
have us believe that the combine is Il
