THE PRESS CENSORSHIP.

There is now, and always has been,
press censorship in this country, but
1t is not the arbitrary and capricious
domination of bureaucratic or auto
cratic government. The reputable and
legitimate newspaper press, In pre-
senting contemporaneous history in its
news phase to the public, exercises a
conscientious discrimination the scope
of which is little understood by those
who have not an intimate knowledge
of practical newspaper processes. And
the great majority of the newspapers
respond to and cultivate the whole
some sentiment of the morally normal
American home. The editorial censor
ship. wholly voluntary but none the
less efficacious on that account. pro-
ceeds on true and high moral princi-
Piles and is in reality one of the most
potent ethical forces.
The abuses of a free press by sem
sational and constituencies publishers
on the occasion of an extraordinary
criminal trial will not reconcile sober
public sentiment to an official news
dictatorship, no matter in what form
1t may be proposed. The protest
against the evil comes from spirit
worthy of all commendation. but the
suggested extreme remedy carries with
1t evils not to be lightly incurred.
At least it would be better first to
yitalize and enforce the long standing
laws against press abuses. These are
more ample and drastic than is COM
monty known, and, indeed, their non
enforcement is largely due to popular
jealousy of official interference with
newspaper expression and content. In
spite of excuses and outright perver-
sion of press function. Aside from the
body Of rules contained In the COM
mon and statutory law. the national
government is already clothed with ex-
tensive power for excluding from the
malls vicious and illegal matter
printed in the guise of news The pres
ident's call for enforcement of these
laws and full employment of these
powers is the true keynote, and that
policy will have the approval and
hearty support of the legitimate news
paper press.

INSANITY DEFENSE IN NEW YORK.

INSANITY DEFENSE IN NEW FORK.
Stripped naked. the defense in the
Thaw case is simply insanity. The law
in New York is explicit and has been
thoroughly settled judicial1y. The per-
tinent provision of the penal code,
which is the pivot of the whole case,
is as follows:
A person is not excused from criminal
liability as an idiot, imbeclle, lunatlc or
insane person except upon proof that at
the time of committing the alleged GRIM
inal act he was laborine under such de-
feet OF reason as either, first, not 70 know
the nature and quality Of the act he was
doing or, second, not TO know that the act
was wrong.
In a leading decision three years ago
the court of appeals established the
rule within the narrow and literal
meaning of the terms of the statute,
and since has held in a long line of
cases inflexibly to the rule. The re-
quirement is so definitely and inexor-
ably settled that the defense in the
present case must afirmatively estab-
lish beyond a reasonable doubt In the
mind Of the jury that the defendant in
committing the act did not known its
nature and quality or that 1t was
wrong. In no state is the law as to the
insanity plea more exacting than in
New York. or have the courts held
more strictly to the statutory words.

MAKING GOOD BARTLEY'S STEALINGS.
Attention having been called BY the
outgoing governor to the shortage in
the school funds due to the BARLEY
embezzlement, a bill has been intro
duced into the Nebraska legislature
providing for the levy OF an additional
tax to carry out the constitutional
mandate that these trust funds shall
remain forever inviolate and undimin-
ished. The governors message, re-
viewing the efforts of the state to re-
cover this money from the bondsmen
of the defaultlng state treasurer, con-
eludes that the last decision finally
disposing of the suit makes It neces-
sary for the taxpayers of Nebraska to
replace the amount Of the school fund
shortage. The total sum to be re-
imbursed is given at $325,5S7.50,
divided into unequal portions between
the permanent school fund. the per-
manent university fund, the agricul-
tural college endowment fund and the
tive recommendation is offered that
the legislature provide for restoring
the defaulted funds "either by au-
thorizing the drawing of a warrant
upon the general fund for the amount
payable to the treasurer or by au-
thorizing a special levy upon the
grand assessment roll, covering one or
more years sufficient to meet the re-
quirements."
The plan apparently in favor is the
levylng of special tax, notwithstand-
ing the fact that we are now paying a
special tax of / mill under the Shell
don law for extinguishing the floating
debt of the state. 1t seems to US,
however, that instead of increasing the
current tax levy by an addition spec
tally made to take care of the BARLEY
embezzlement. IL will be better to
amend the Sheldon law so as to make
the proceeds of the levy for which it
provides available both for restoring
the school funds and for sinking the
floating debt. This levy at the present
rate of / mill would produce approx
mately $4,000 next year and a con-
stantly increasing sum. 1t would be
only a question, therefore, of a few
years for It to sink the entire state
debt II next years proceeds of this
special levy we're used to make good
the BARLEY stealings it would take
them all up In one year and defer the
completion of the work of debt sink
ing not more than one year. On the
other hand, the proposed plan of spe-
cial levy would take three or four
years to make up the school fund de-
felt and make the taxpayers pay on
both obligations in the same time.
The duty to make good the BARLEY
stealings does not devolve only on the
present citizenship OF Nebraska, but
on those who are to come after as well,
and II would do no harm to spread
this burden over a longer succession
of years instead Of forcing the present
taxpayers to carry 1t all in three or
four levies.

Overlooking SCHOOL CHILDREN.
GrOwnup Ipcreasins the Burdens Of
Youngsters.
WaahinRfon Post
Washington Post.


There are in most OF the states of our
union enthusiastic but mistaken friends of
education who never cease trying TO ada
new studies to the already much overbur-
dened public school curriculum. State leg
islatures, municipal councils and boards OF
school directors are importuned, and occa-
sionally with success, to pile on the burden.
The latest example Of this tireless per-
sistency is seen in Indiana, whose legisla-
ture is very earnestly requested TO intro
duce into the schools of that commonwealth
the study of kindness and humanity to the
Flower animals" a term which. We sup
pose, includes all animals below the human.
No one questions the Importance OF kind
ness and humanity. Cruelty. whether TO
man, woman or child, or 10 bird, beast, fish
or anything that lives. is execrable Tho
infiiction OF torture OF the unnecessary tax
ing of life Is abhorrent 10 a we'll regulated

not enter on his list of friends. though
graeed with polished manners and fine
sense. yet wanting sensibility. the man who
needlessly sets foot upon a worm" COM

women everywhere. And the justice of
Cowper's rule OF conduct toward all ami
mails is indisputable THE sum is this: II

extinguish theirs; else they are all. the
meanest things that are, as free to live
and to enjoy that life as God was free to
frame them at the first. who in His SOW
ereign wisdom made them ALL" But the
schools are. as We have stated, loaded To
the gunwale with studies. The advance OF
science has rendered Il necessary for an
educated person OF our day to know very
much more than his educated grandfather
knew or could possibly have learned. But
the school readers and the example and
conversation OF teachers are always i'm
pressing lessons OF humanity on children.
In a great majority Of homeS children are
rightly taught kindness and humanity. Lit
erature Is full Of this instruction. We don't
know whether or not the school readers
now I'm use contain Cowper's plea for hui
manity, but they ought to, and they could
also contain COleridges Incompatible lines

THE GOVERNMENTS SECRET WORK.

Some of the senators at Washington
have developed consuming curiosity
concerning the money that is being
expended by the government for the
employment of special agents of the
different executive departments. Reso-
lutions have been offered in the senate
calling for q detailed statement of the
number of these special agents, the
sums of money used in their employ
ment and the nature of the work in
which they have been engaged. The
house committee on appropriations has
already furnished the information
that for the year 1906 the government
had the services of 1913 special
agents at a cost of $4.567.72S. as
against an expenditure of $685. 26
for similar service in 1896 Oppo-
nents OF the administration appear to
believe that they have found-a source
of scandal In this showing and are pre-
pared to use 1t for the purpose of man
ufacturing political capital.
While the face of the figures indi-
cate unusual activity and largely in
creased expense in the special agent
department, the results will satisfy
fair-minded men that the expenditure
has been fully justified. The govern
ment cannot hunt thieves with brass
bands and, of necessity. is compelled
to carry on most of its Investigations
with more or less secrecy President
Roosevelt's administration, since he
came into power in his own right, has
been an era Of Investigations, covering
almost every department of the gov
eminent. The Investigations in the
Postoffice department covered the en-
tire country, requiring the services of
many special men, skilled in the work
of the department Eight of the men
who were implicated in the gigantic
system Of postal frauds are now in a
federal prison and several others are
awaiting trial. The Investigations
into the land frauds has called for the
services of special agents in every
state in the union that contains any
public lands. Many of the men con-
vieted of these land frauds are now in
prison and others are on the way. In
the inquiry into the operations of the
Beef trust. the Standard OIL combine
the Paper trust. the railway mergers
the coal frauds and other combina-
lions against the public welfare the
government has been compelled 10 EN-.
ploy many special agents, lawyers and
experts in different lines and the EN-.
ployment has cost money.
The work of investigation has beer
done quietly and secretly and there ii
little doubt that the results secured
would not have been possible II the
subjects of the Investigations had beer
informed in advance of the names Of
the persons who were to conduct tbs
inquiries and their fields and methods
OF operation. Then again, the con
gressmen who are complaining of the
increased expense for this specia
branch OF the administration servic'
