A PRIVILEGE OF THE PUBLIC

The practical conditions revealed by
the first few days work in the new
capitol show that public privileges are
really endangered by the utterly made
quate and improper accommodations
allotted to representatives of the press.
There has been a lot of good natured
joking about the exclusion of the re-
porters from the floor, and their ban
ishment to an obscure corner where
they can neither see nor hear what is
going on. The subject lends itself
easily to jocose treatment. but it has
also its serious side.
A full and accurate report of 1eg1sIa-
tive proceedings is not at all for the
benefit. finally, of the newspapers. It
is million times more important to
the people. 1t is the voters of Mime
know, exactly what their representa-
tives are doing; before whom should
be laid a complete and reliable account
of the bills introduced, speeches made
and votes taken. Without this, the ex-
action of that responsibility necessary
to the right discharge Of public trust
is impossible. The interest of the
newspaper in furnishing full and COR
rect reports OF proceedings is but. the
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-07

smallest traction of the interest of the
whole people. If this report is to be
rendered incomplete and laid open to
blunders impossible to avoid or cor
rect, then we go back toward the star
chamber system again.
Now this is what is imposed upon
the people, as well as upon the news
papers, by existing arrangements. I'm
less the reporter carries an x ray ap-
paratus with him, he is cut off from the
view of a large part of the chamber
and has to make guess at the identity
of persons speaking. Unless he is pro-
vided with some system of wireless
telegraphy, he cannot hear what is GO
ing on. AS the whole value of his work
depends upon instantaneous accuracy
of both sight and hearing, the arrange
ment is palpably absurd. There is just
one place for the reporters who are to
give to the public an account of the
proceedings of legislative body.
Where the people handle such matters
directly for themselves and for the oc-
casion, as is true of all political con-
ventions, they do it correctly. The re-
porters tables are always placed di-
rectly in front of the platform and be-
gates. There the representative of the
press can hear everything said from
either side, can see all that lis done and
are thus able to present vivid and
accurate account.
That is>where reporters desks should
always be placed. They are just as
necessary part of the arrangements of
the senate and the house as are the
seats of the members themselves, and
they should be as fitly provided for.
This should have been borne in mind
in the arrangement of the legislative
chambers Whether it may or may not
be possible now to make an entirely
suitable and satisfactory readjustment
of things, at any rate the representa-
tites of the press should be placed
where they can readily see and hear.
Unless that is done, the freedom of the
press as far as the legislative session
is concerned is practically nullified.
Unless that is done, the members of
the legislature will be subject to fre-
quent, though unintentional, misrepre-
Esentation; and against this, until they
make the necessary reform, they can
not protest.

PLEA FOR PACKERS
Attorney Attacks Governments
Beef Trust Bill

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 6.-Ar-
gument in the case of Swift & Co. VS..
The United States, known as the beef
trust conspiracy case, was begun be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States today by Attorney John S.
Miller. of Chicago, on behalf of the
packers. He attacked the bill of the
government as insufficient in it's fail
ure to allege facts necessary to consti-
tute q cause of action, and said that
the charges made are not facts, but
conclusions OF law; that the commerce
charged is not interstate or foreign
commerce, and that even if it be inter-
state commerce the facts given con-
stitute no violation of law. The
charges, he said, are of the most gem
eral character and do not specify time
and place.
Tt is alleged" interrupted Justice
White, that your clients agents COM

10 put prices down and again agreed
TO put them UP. Do you think there
Should nave been a specification of
hour and placer"
Yes, your honor" responded Mr..
Miller. If the government had these
facts, why has it not given them?"
Mr.. Miller contended that there is no
Interstate commerce involved because
of the business of the packers includ-
Ing the purchase of cattle and the sale
of the meat is confined entirely to
Chicago. The shipment, he said, is nc
part OF the purchase or sale. The de-
mand for fresh meat is fairly uniform
and owing to the necessity for main
tanning proper supply of an accept
able article, he said, there should be
some understanding among the pack
ers. This is, he said, perfectly legiti-
mate. The cattle supply is not so reg
ular as the demand, and to this fact
Mr. Miller attributed the fuctuation in
prices.
Attorney General Moody began. 1t
was idle, he said, to discuss the con-
tention that the charges of the bill are
not connected one with another The
purpose of the suit is single Mr.
Moody had scarcely begun when the
court adjourned until Monday.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-07

deny it. And they would have grounds
for doing this, too.
If such curiosity is morbid. then the
curiosity that prompts the reader to
follow with absorbed interest the de-
velopment of some character in a novel,
such a character for instance, as Tito
Melemo in sRomola," is also morbid.
For the murder trial as reported in the
daily papers reveals pitilessly human
nature. At its conclusion one may
have some doubt of the guilt or the in
nocence of the individual who has
been tried for his life, but he has en-
tered closely into that individuals life.
he is acquainted with most of the in
fuences that developed or retarded
him. he feels that he knows, as much
as it is given one individual to know
another, the man.
OF course it is because a murder is
experience that his attention is at.
traeted by such trial. But it is the
psychological phase of it that conn
mands his attention throughout. And
unless the race takes a long step back
ward and murders become common oc-
currences. the reading public must
continue to read with interest the un-
adorned reports of the happenings of
the court room. For such reports are
great character studies all the greater
because they are simply the presenta-
ton of facts. They illumine rarely the
character of the individual.

TOO LONG DELAYED

The delay of t&e work of the statute
revision commission begins to show
serious consequences. For four years
that body has had in hand the work of
codifying the laws of the state. It's
labors We're to have been completed
some time before the beginning of the
present session. They are still unfin-
ished. A vague promise is given that
the report may be ready the latter part
of next week, but it is very doubtful if
this will be realized. The final chap
ters of the code are not finished, and
although arrangements for printing it
at the highest possible speed are COM
plete, no one familiar with such work
can feel confident that from. two to
three weeks additional will not be re-
quired before the new code is ready
for the hands of legislators.
1t seems that this is by no means the
whole or even the worst part of the
difficulty. Members of the legislature
must be guided in great part in their
work for this session by the contents
of this code. The important features
of much legislation will be determined
by it. 1t will be a voluminous COM
pilation, with which long study only
could make reader familiar even on a
given subject that might be selected
for legislation. Careful examination of
the revision work would be necessary
before the Trainer of a bill could pass
upon all the details required to bring
do not see how, even after the new
code is in the hands of the legislature
in published form, it can be practically
made available until some weeks more
have passed.
This makes the situation serious.
The delay is most unfortunate. IT is
impossible for the legislature to ad-#
journ until the new work is ready and
has been digested. 1t is impossible for
it to go on with it's labors and not take
the chance of having a large portion of
them made void by knowledge that it's
members can obtain only later. The
circumstances are extremely unfortu-
nate, and the Republican party, in
whose hands has been placed full pow
er to. govern this work of revision.
must be held responsible.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-07
ON THE DEFENSIVE

1t is not impossible that the next
stage of the war between Russia and
Japan may show an interesting re-
versal of naval conditions. Hitherto
we have had to consider only the possi-
bility of fighting in Eastern waters,
the fate of the Russian and Japanese
fleets around Port Arthur and Vladiyos-
tok and the progress of relief squad
rons preparing or on their way from
Europe to Asia. Now the direction of
events is reversed and the theater Of
interest changed. It is reported..from,
ST. Petersburg that Russia is purchas-
ing submarine and other boats with a
view to the defense of her own har-
bors. This argues an apprehension of
attack, which may likely be well
founded
1t should be pointed out that the
equanimity of Europe in permitting the
Baltic fleet to sail to the East and take
part in this conflict may produce
troublesome consequences. AS long as
the fighting was confined to the ships
already in the Orient, Europe was un-
concerned. If Russia sent out fleet
from home waters to attack Japan
there is no good reason why, opportu-
nifty being offered, Japan should not
retaIate. With Port Arthur fallen,
enough japanese warships can be re-
leased to admit of dispatching squad
ron to European waters to make things
unpleasant for Russia there. Were
such a measure undertaken, there
would be undoubtedly huge amount
of discussion in every capital. Yet it
is difficult to see why what is sauce for
the goose should not be sauce for the
gander.
The sending to the East OF the Baltic
fleet has really been a sort of European
affair. The vessels have been allowed
to stop and coal about where they
pleased. France, especially, has given
them every sort of assistance; and if
the same sort of thing had happened
in our war with Spain, the United
States would have been fighting every
nation responsible. Japan can with
perfect fairness claim equality of treat
ment, yet there would be a gleat buzz.
ing of hornets were she to do so. She
is not likely as mere matter of policy
to take the chance, but it is not i'm
possible that some of her lesser ships
of war-submarines torpedo boats and
destroyers should slip quietly through
European waters and appear upon the
Neva at almost any time. War is war,
and it is almost time for Russia to be-
gin to learn that her antagonist is not
to be outwitted, but has a trump ready
to play on every trick. .ass,.>s ia
