DOUGLASS AND THE LIBEL LAW
a Manly Reply to the Wake County
Candidate for the Legislature Who
Advocates MuZZling Outspoken
Newspapers of the State.

Mr.. w. G. Douglass, democratic can
didate for the legislature in Wake
county, who has avowed his purpose
to modify or repeal the present news
paper libel law is very much incensed
on account of The Landmarks re-
marks anent his attitude in
the matter. This paper said that if it
was Mr.. Douglass purpose to modify
or repeal the statute that the news
papers of the state should give at
tentiOn to him and those who think
like him. Nj. Douglass says this
means either to prevent his election, TO
bulldoze or brighten him after he IS
elected, or to fill the columns of The
Landmark with mean i~nnuendos ana
slanderOuS questions. Mr.. Douglass
Their boasts that he will be elected,
that he can't be frightened, etc. ETC.
Mr.. Douglas is unduly alarmed. As
to preventing his election, The Land
mark does not claim to be able 70 con-
troll q single vote in Wake county,
and those who know this paper and its
editor know that it does not try 10
b~ulldOZc anybody. II says what II
thinks frankly and openly. but II
strives TO be just and fair.
The Landmark believes-and We
are sure all the newspapers OF the
state hold similar Views-that the
present libel law is just and fair. We
know that a great many lawyers hold
similar views. The bill was drawn
by an able lawyer-editoT. as honorable
q man as lives in the state Ont. Henry

passed through the legislature with
little opposition. At first the present
lieutenant governor. Mr.. Winston. Nj,
Frank Ray. OF Macon. and probably
others. who were members Of thar leg
i~slature. said the bill should not be
passed. But for some reason <hey
withdrew opposition and IL was passed
and passed in response 10 the demand
Of the OF the state MT

juries. without redress. The editors
ask no such privileges.
What the editors desire and what
thew will have is the present libel law
which does not relieve them Of respon-
sibility. but which does prevent con
tingent fee lawyers who drum up cases
from harasSing and annoying a news
paper with Unnecessary damage suits
The present law gives the editor TINS
privilege and this alone. If he makes
correction of an alleged libelous pub
location and IL cannot be shown that
the publication was made with malice,
with a view to injuring the party con
cerned. then the plaintiff twho IS not
estOpped from bringing suit, as Mr.
Douglass would have IL appear can
recover only actual damages, that j.

damages for alleged mental anguish.
etc. And to show that this law is far
from being onesided, an editor In Nj.
Douglass own town was mulcted In
$4,000 damages. Notwithstanding he
made prompt correction Of the publ
cation and there was no evidence that
II was not made In good faith or that
II was malicious. and no evidence that
the plaintiff had suffered loss, n
