PEOPLE AND THE CORPORATIONS

It is all very well to censure Presi- dent Roosevelt for his autocratic. arbi- trary course and to deplore his impa- tience with the set forms of conserv- ative and constitutional procedure, but of what avail can it be to do so when every day brings its fresh burdens of dishonesty and corruption in high placesf
 The president $ conduct may he open to impeachment; it may have the gray est aspect in the eyes of the wisest and the best among us; but what etfectual or serious condemnation of it can there be by public opinion when the provocation for it is diselosedl Who is it, of a truth, that is bringing the law into dis, repute and diserediting the constitution President Roosevelt or the men who exploit our great corporations9
 If Mir. Roosevelt has no instinct for the law and no susceptibility to its spirit and traditions, nevertheless he will be sustained and approved by the people so long as such colorable justif cation of his acts is hurled in the face of the public. The whole subject is an object lesson and study in the prob lem of How to Wreck Form of Gov ernment.''
 We begin by secret debauchery in business methods. We corrupt our com mon carriers. We buy, by corruption, infamous advantages over our compet itors in business. We ruin thousands; and, thriving, our lust for lawless gain grows by what it feeds on. We retort on the blaekmail of legislators by buy. ing legislatures, so that the infection of our morals and our methods taints the whole body polite. Everywhere the destroying eanker spreads; it in vades all ranks, vitiates the moral sense and distorts the national perspective of right and wrong Who is really to blame if old remedies seem inadequate and if in the extremity of the issue the law and the offender fall together.
 There can be no great evil to infest part of a people but it must spread to the whole of the people, and so compass the downfall of whatever edifce that the people have built.-New York Sun.

LIBEL LEGISLATION

The Douglas International American, which has recently passed unse athed, save for attorney B fees, through a null titude of libel suits, has the following to say regarding a revival of the Ari- Zona Press association and the need for newspaper legislation, in all of which the Silver Belt fully coneurs with Editor Kelly:
 About the only Arizona association that did not meet last fall during the territorial fair at Phoenix was the Ari zons Press association. This association held its last session something over year ago, when J. NJ. McCullom, then editor of the Globe Times, was elected as president. There are now published in this territory more than fifty news papers of various kinds, dailies and weeklies, and the organization of the newspaper publishers and editors should be kept up; certainly the interests of the profession are of sufficient import anee to demand an active press associa- ton.
 There arc several matters which de- mand the attention of the newspaper men of Arizona and one of them, of great importance, is a desired change in the law which renders newspapers liable for damages on account of libel ous publications. We believe that every newspaper in the land should be held to a strict accountability for it's con duet, and if it wilfully libels citizen it should be compelled to make repars- tion, but on the other hand we believe that when newspaper is halsd into court on libel or damage suit and proves the truth of the matter published and complained of that it's verdict should be for counter damages against

the party instituting the proceedings. This paper had very unpleasant ex- perience during the past year in court and while we got out of the temple of justice with cleared skirts, it was at an expense of several hundred dollars paid to lawyers and to cover other items of expense, We feel that just law would give us recourse for sufficient to make us whole in pocket.
 Mir. McCullom, the president of the Arizona Press association, is not now connected with any paper, but we would suggest that he call a meeting of the as sociation for some time during the leg islative session at Phoenix,
 If such call is made there is hardly paper in Arizona that cannot afford to send representative.

Senator Beveridge tells story of and New Mexico once rendered him big bunch of shares of some Arizona mining company, which he refused to accept. It is implied that the senator was offered a bribe to let up on his statehood plan for the two territories, but to us it sounds like blast of atmosphere out of the top of shelter furnace. No one in Arizona ever thought that the HoOsier senator was worth buying.
