THE PLAN Is ALL RIGHT.

The plarp of campaign mapped out by
the Government law officials against
the Gland thieves" az given in yes
terday mornings Tribune, is compre-
hensivc, and If vigorously carried out,
may be expected to yield important re-
suits. But time alone can tell how
much sincerity and carnestness is at
the bottom of it
1t is not much use to expect results.
however, where the United States At
torney in charge has been the counsel
for the alleged violators of the law,
in their purported acts of spoliage,
and where a man who has been indicted
on the charge of land fraud can public
ly say, unchallenged. that what he did
was by advice of this same person who
is now the United States Attorney. IL
is not much worth while to expect Wig
orous or impartial action, where a
United States Marshal has no higher
conception Of the function or dignity of
court than TO go to n judge and tell
him that he ought TO decide motion
pending in his court, with a view to
the advantage of the political party OF
which both the marshal and Judge are
members
Not much can be expected in the way
of legal prosecutions of alleged offend
ers in a community where law and JUS
tice are thus rotten near the source. Nor
need there be much expectation of
fruitful results in community gov
erned in civil and political affairs by
men who openly oonfcss-pcrhaps 1t
would be more exact to say boast-of
their contempt for the law, of their vio-
lation of it in their daily lives, and
their determination TO continue that
law breaking.
SO that, while the projected plan
looks well, there are places where it is
likely to fail, unless there are some rad
ical changes, And among the not least
important changes. must be one that
will lift from the control OF the lawless
class the minds of jurors, who are sub
iect to be swayed by counsel, as of

TO MAKE LICKING LEGAL.

Some supposed sufferer from news
paper attack has introduced in the
Pennsylvania Legislature bill TO
make the thrashing of editors and re-
porters legal All that man has
10 do who has thrashed an editor
or reporter in order to be acquitted
on his trial for assault and battery is
to prove that "thc person upon whom
the assault was committed wrote or
published. within one year previous to
the assault, any false or defamatory
matter concerning the defendant or
any parent, child, sister, wife, or
fance of the defendant.
That is to say, it is lawful to lick
the editors and reporters in Pennsyl-
vania at any time. and without warn
ing, notice, or provoeation; for Il
belhgcrcnt 8 notion Of what is "false
or defamatory,' or of the person to
blame for printing thhe same, would
be practically unrestricted. All that
need be added TO such statute would
be clause making it obligatory upon
all editors and reporters not 10 fight
back if they were assaulted; to make
sclf-defense for them as unlawful as
assaulting them is lawful,
Pennsylvania made herself ridiculous
n few years ago by passing a law
making the caricaturing of any per.
son misdemeanor. punishable by
fine and Imprisonment. But the law
fell dead a-borning, 1t was wholly
disregarded from the first; it is now
absolutely dead letter And so would
he the proposed bill making it lawful
to assault editors; unless, indeed il
had the effect to cause the editors to
arm themselves and kill few of their
assaIlants.
But after all there is a clause In this
proposed bill that robs it of its sting.
It provides that in any civil suit for
damages arising out Of the publication
Of any alleged ''falsc or defamatory -
article, ii shall be sufficient for the
editor or person sued TO prove the
truth of the matter published, and
thereupon no damages are collectible
This would knock silly the old rule,
''The greater the truth the greater the
libel,' and as it would be a vast
relief TO the newspapers of Pennsyl-
vanja 10 have this change in the rule
of law, they could probably afford to
have the bin passed as introduced,
taking their chances on licking, or
their ability to lick the other fellow.

NOT DEAD NOR SLEEPING

The Calgary Albertan, copied glow
ingly by the McGrath Pioneer, is print
ing the obituary of Mormon polycamy
in Canada.
''It do beat all'' how many lives
Mormon polygamy has.
The prints of the church alterate
their epitaph work between Fred r.
Dubois and the proposition of many
wives under divine sanction. When they
are not telling that Dubois is dead and
buried, they are relating that polygamy
is surely now dcfunct The Calgary
Albertan is initiating, in its sentiment
and language, the statement at Nauvoo;
the statement during tho Statehood
seeking period of Utah; The statement
Of the sensational time in 1896, when
two or three apostolic cases Of new DO.
lygamy came TO public notice; the state
mcnt of Lorenzo s SNOW s time in prcsi-

WHERE IS THE COUNTRY AT?

A Representative from Southern
State achieved instant fame when on
attempting to resume his interrupted
speech, he demanded of the Speaker,
"Where was / at7'
In like manner it is worth while. in
the present mixup of opinions, tenden-
cies and strife TO ask "Where is tins
country at?' When the Republican
party, the party of protection and CON
servatism, becomes the radical, tip
things-up party, and the Democracy,
after its rush toward extremes, becomes
the conservative, lettings alone partv,
it is surely time TO sit up and take no.
ticc. Stated concisely, when the talk
is that Roosevelt may run az the radl-
cal, smash-things candidate, and Bryan
against him as the conservative, pre-
serye.things candidate, then the stu
alton is indeed turned round about.
The situation is very fairly, though
sarcastically, set forth in this brief edi-
torial from the New York Evening
Post
1t is becoming almost an impossibllity
TO differ with anybody these days. A
President OF the United States may re-
gard football as one OF the most civiliZ-
Ing agencies OF the day, while Il presi-
dent of Harvard considers II unfit either
for gentlemen 10 indulge In or for the
masses to witness. and yet n president
OF Yale may be unable TO see that the
two are materially apart in their con-
clusions. Doubtless we shall learn Yet
that the President, the packers. and Up
ton Sinclair were simply out Summing
together year ago; that Hartman and
the White II0MSn have been In InOrOngh In
accord all along: that Murphy and Nc
Clelans apparent tilt is simply a
friendly ruse to maintain interest In
the rank and file of the New York DEM
ocracy. while foreordinatlon and free
will are merely two parallel statements
of the same fundamental philosophical
principle 1t may be necessary to de-
mand the reelection of Roosevelt simply
through fear OF disturbing the uneXam-
pied harmony of interests and opinions
existing under his administration.

would ask the Lord TO demonstrate

There is ever something that sings

There's the song OF the lark when the

that will be the end OF the world
What's the good OF further worry over
how to curb the Trusts?
Why try longer for an airshIp that shall

Let us stop Our fuss and fretting over
little things of state,
Let us turn aside from trouble over
tariff and rebate,
Let us hang our pack OF worries on the
most convenient nail
For they'll all be smashed to nothing
when the comet swings its tail.
or why we shall
Dig the ditch and fix the level of the
ISthmian canal;
II is not worth while 10 ponder over con-
flct with Japan.
Or 10 write or speak or think about
new uplifting plan
That shall make all men as brothers-
for we hit the outbound trail
And are lost among the planets when the
comet swings its tail.
o. what peaceful contemplation, Soon We
viii not have to guess
Where on earth TO raise the money for

And the vexing servant problem will
conclusively be solved,
And the Nicaraguan patriots for the last
time be revolved,
And we will not have 10 worry over saw
ings banks that fail,
Nor stand waiting for the trolley, when
the comet swings its tail.
So. lets stop our fuss and fretting, cast
our troubles TO one side
With but few short weeks TO journey.
let us all enjoy the ride.
And before the comets humping touches

Let us try TO realize just what a good
