gross Misrepresentation of motives is
TO be found in the treatment of the
Colorado worlds fair board by certain
Denver newspapers. and other cases
in the political and social life Of our
state will readily occur to every one.
And II is doubtless true that no
reputable newspaper that Is honest
~ striving TO perform its duty to the
people and to the community would
have anything to fear from such a
law as the one proposed in Pennsyl-
vania provided II was carried out in
good faith. But thai is where the
difficulty would come.
Pennsylvania is notably state in
which great corporations, acting
thorugh the INSCRIPTIONS bosses of
corrupt political machines, defy the
will of the people. and usurp public
power and the functions of public
government to private ends.
The enactment OF such law as
the one proposed would unquestion-
ably put powerful instrument into
the hands Of those desirous OF con
cealine their official acts from the peo-
Pile. and we cannot doubt that this
power would be used to suppress hon
est criticism and 10 defeat that pub
licity of public acts that is the great
es service of well regulated press
towards n free people o..
II Is true that some newspapers
are scandal mongers, but It is true
also that no rogue in public Office,
and no CRATER or bribe giver behind
the scenes ever felt the sting of right
ful publicity or criticism without feel
ing that he had been treated unfairly
and scandalously or without wishing
for some such law as that proposed
in PENNSYLVANIA, by means of which
the newspapers might he taught to
mind their own business"
A law that would accomplish all
hat the PENNSYLVANIA measure pro-
noses. without accomplishing the
hinEs that are desired by the Penn
itical agents would receive general
approval, but in Colorado we prefer
to bear the Ills Of our yellow journals
for while longer rather than take
chances on such a measure of gag
law as is proposed by Governor Pen
pypacker
II is one The fortunate results of
pur system Of government that doubt
ful legislative experiments may he
tried upon q small scale without in
volving the interests of more than Il
single state. Pennsylvania has al
ready gone to the extreme in the mat.
ter of newspaper libel. and II is quite
likely that the present Legislature
may declare newspaper scandal mon
gers public nuisance Other states
will watch the experiment with in
terest and govern their own action
according to whether the new law
turns out a success or failure
