TOO SEVERE A PENALTY.

The members at the recent an
nual session of the North Dakota
Press Association handed the last
general assembly and a member Of
that body and the newspaper fra
ternity a hard slap by universally
condemning what is known as the
Streeter Libel Law. This law pro-
vides that a newspaper publisher
charged with libel shall have no
right of retraction, and upon con-
viction hereunder shall be deemed
a felon and imprisoned in the pen
itentiary not less than one year and
of course to be forever disfranchised
unless pardoned before the expira-
ton of his sentence. The law was
the subject Of a most animated dis
%cussion, and with hardly a dissent
ing voice it was argued that the
penalty Vas too severe. The AS
ISOLATION, by a resolution adopted,
pledged both its moral and financial
support to any member arrested
under this act, and from the tenor
of the remarks on the floor, there
is nodoubt but that this resolution
will be kept, both in spirit and letter
It is not the idea of the fraternity
to protect an offending publisher
from a just law, but whenyou class
him with a thief, a burglar and a
murderer, the dose was too much
to swallow. The newspaper men
acted wisely. Wilton News.

The noise in the world that North
Dakota has made, it's passage and
enforcement Of pure food laws has
done a good deal to enhance inter
est in the subject in other states.
The people, always slow to apprec-
late efforts that are made in their
welfare, IRE beginning to awaken
to the fact that it means disease
and a shorter life to eat and drink
articles that are adulterated with
Objectionable mixtures. 1t is pecul-
lar that authorizations are-all prac-
tically Objectionable and harmful.
The desire to make greater profits,
or to distance a competitor, induce
efforts to. fool the public, and to
palm off on them an article infer
ior to that which they are expect
ing to receive i'll exchange for
their money. The remarkable thing
is that those firms seem to be so
securely entrenched in Congress
that they are unable successfully
to block all attempts that are made
to pass a national pure food law.
One would suppose that there could
be no reasonable objection offered
to such a measure; and so far, no
debates have been engaged in con-
tanning any potent argument why
a national pure food law should not
be enacted. It may be that some
corporations would not make quite
as much money, but that is not a
matter Of great interest tothe pub
lie at large and should not be to
the representatives Of the people at
Washington. The time will come,
undoubtedly soon, when the oppo-
sition to this proposed law will van
ish away, and the sooner this takes
place, the better the people who
are now compelled to eat adulter-
ated foods will like it.-Pioneer.
