The prospects of an early with
drawal Of American authority from
Cuba do not brighten. On the con-
trary every weeks developments seem
to point toward the necessity of long
il not permanent, control of the is
land by such authority. The Liberal
patty, whose revolt against the alleged
nsurpations of the Palma government
induced the present Intervention, is
divided into factions ready to spring
at one another's throats. With one
or another of these factions the more
volatile elements of the former Con-
servative party appear to have united I;
and the stronger faction openly threat
ems violence to compel the withdrawal
of the Magoon provisional government
and the immediate surrender of the
offices to its leaders. OF course, if a
withdrawal should occur, civil war
between the factions would be the
immediate result.

The Importance of having pure milk
supply appeals to them with a direct
ness and force not always influencing
the male inspectors, though it is but
tair to say of the latter that, as rule,
they probably perform their duties con-
scientiously.
One OF the most potent causes of the
existing epidemic of disease in Chicago
is said to be an impure milk supply.
Boards of health and medical authori-
ties everywhere recognize in tainted
or impure milk most serious menace
to the public health, especially in its
effect upon the young children. 1t is
natural, therefore, that the women,
having to do directly with the dietary
conditions of the homes, should be ask
ed to take personal part in the in

TO put the roads and bridges back in

have been obviated so far as bridges
and culverts are concerned if they had
been constructed in proper manner.
An illustration of this fact is shown
in the construction of the bridge
which crosses Greasewood, west of
Adams. This bridge, which rests on

water coming into that stream from

MUZZLING THE PRESS.

Two or three obtuse State Senators
at Olympia are engineering legisla.
tive scheme to muzzle the press. 1hey
| have introduced the bill, familiarly
known as the Pennypacker law, and are
urging it upon the Legislature with
great vigor. They have also devised
another interesting measure by which
every newspaper within the State of
Washington is to be prohibited from
printing criminal news, including
accounts Of public executions, lynch
ings, divorce proceedings, reports of
police court trials, and the like. These
designing Legislators fancy, perhaps,
they are doing the public service in
censorizing the press. But they are
not. They are contributing to the
security of every criminal or would-re
criminal in the state by suppressing
public information as to his methods
and operations; and they are making
a secret machine of the law and of the
courts which would be grave menace
to the safety Of individuals and the
welfare Of the public. OF course. if
such a law were passed, it would he a
dead letter, for no newspapers would
regard it, and no prosecution under it
could possibly be effective. The ave-
rage newspaper prints what the public
wants, aud the public, being controll-
ed in the long run by sound senti-
ment and healthy opinion, wants and
gets, in the main, what is Test for it
to have. A newspaper that violates
continually SOUND tenets of decency and
proprlety will not survive; but news
paper that informs the public best as
10 all current phases of human life
and experience may he sure of appre-
ciative and generous public support,
for it deserves such support.
The Pennypacker law. enacted first
by Pennsylvania Legislature at the
instance of Governor Pennypacker,
proposed severe penalties for libel, be-
sides providing specific maximum
sums for actual damages and punitive
damages. The immediate motive for
enactment of the law was the venom
GUS hostility of Governor Pennypaoker
towards the Pennsylvania press for,
lampooning and cartooning him. This
was species of lese majestic that the
Governor resented and endoavored by
law to prevent. He failed. No news
paper paid the slightest attention to
the law, and there has never been, so
far as The Oregonian has heard, sue
cessful prosecution of any kind under
it's provisions. Such law would un-
doubtedly be innocuous in Washington.

The other night, according to press

A new estimate Of the comparative
amount of light received on the earth
from the sun and from the brightest
(apparenD fixed star in the heavens,
Sirius, has been made by Mr.. Ceraski
Of the Astronomical observatory of
Moscow. The sun, according to his
estimate, sends us about 1900, ,000, 900
times as much light as Sirius does.
But this of course is a matter govern
ed by relative distance, so that IL the
earth were halfway between Sirius
and the sun Sirius would appear be-
tween sixteen and seventeen times as
bright as the sun.
