THE PRESIDENT AND THE
COURT

(From the st. Louis Republic, Dem.)
Not very long ago Missouri editor
was punished for contempt by the su-
preme court of this state He was held
to have passed the limit of privilege
in commenting on a decision of the
court because he impugned the mo-
tives of the judges who concurred in
the decision. His offense was in no re-
spect different from that of President
Roosevelt in the extraordinary attack
on the United States circuit court of
appeals made public yesterday.
Mr. Roosevelt did not stop with
condemnation of the legal conclusions
expressed by the court. Even that
form of criticism by the president of
the United States would be of uues-
tionable propriety, no matter how
tactfully and respectfully the utter.
ance might be phrased. But Mr..
Roosevelt chose to direct grave i'm
putations at the members of the
court, imputations which directly af-
feet their personal integrity. Has
the president of the United States a
special privilege to say things for
the repetition of which a private
citizen may be punished?
The Republic does not need to ex-
aggerate the significance of Mr..
Roosevelt's utterance to find founda-
tion for the criticism it is voicing.
The members of the court of appeals
are quite deliberately and most un.
eQuivocally charged with favoritism
to the Standard Oil company because
of the great wealth of the parties in
interest. The President specifically
charges that these rich men escaped
the punishment which would have
been meted out to any weaker defen-
dant who had been guilty of such an
offense."
If President Roosevelt believes
what he says, he should go much
farther than his announcement prom.
ises. His charge that the wealth of
the individuals who were the real, if
not the formal, defendants in the
Standard Oil case had Influenced the
court to decision it would not have
rendered in the case of the ordinary
defendant involves an offense justi.
flying impeachment. Does Mr.. Roose-
welt mean to go that far? If he does
not, what justification can he offer
for the fragrant scandal involved in
public charges he is unwilling to fol-
low to their logical conclusion?
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-08-06
THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

! (From the Portland 0regonian)
But the country editor is something
more than the butt for aged jokes
about his calling He holds most inn
portant position in the community
that is honored by his presence. There
are rare cases in his profession, as
well as in all others. when the calling
is disgraced by a black sheep; but
serious shortcomings on the part of
the man who attempts to mold public
sentiment by means of a newspaper
are soon detected. and he is quickly
forced out of the profession. The
country editor is by force of circum-
than the men who write for the great
dailies of the city. This environment
may prevent a study of all the diver
gent phases of human nature, such as
may be found in city, but IL admits
OF closer communion with those which
are more desirable. and it shuts out
others which can never be conducive
to human happiness,
The delightful comradeship, which
IS so often found between the coun-
try editor and his constituents, is
eharmingly set forth in the letters of
William Allen White, himself a coun-
try editor of national fame. The sue
cess attained by Mr.. White is due to
his consistent encouragement of a
healthy public sentiment. There are
always more good people than bad
people in a community and the news
paper, after all, merely reflects the
sentiment of the people who support
it, The newspaper cannot be much
better or bigger than the people il
serves. For any healthy, striving
city 20 fail TO support a good news.
paper is nearly always much more OF
a reflection on the people than on
the editor. The local newspaper has
become SO much a part OF the indus
trial and social life of our country
that the town or city too small or too
indifferent to support paper is not
OF much consequence.
Very few of the country editors re-
ceive pay at all prOportiOnate to the
efforts that they put forth, and, for
this reason, il fOr no other, they

us in the protest against the exercise
of arbitrary power by the speaker
whereby the house of representatives
has ceased to be a popular govern
ment.
They should be with us in the con-
demnation of the misuse of patronage;
in the demand for railroad regulation
that will regulate; in the advocacy of
publicity for campaign contributions
BEFORE election day.
They should be with. us In the oppo-
sition to that Capitalization which
would destroy our system of govern
ment and ultimately make it neces-
sary for the farmer. as we'll as other
citizens, to look to the national cap
ital, rather than to the state capital
and county seat, when seeking relief
from corporate abuses.
They should be with us for the pop
ular election of senator's: for the In
come tax; for the guarantee to the
laboring men, as well as to all men,
the right of trial by jury; for the
farmer has deep concern in the well
fare of the laboring man who is the
consumer of the farmers products.
They should be with lis on the guar
antee of bank deposits; for what shall
it profit farmer to obtain high prices
for his product and have no place
where he may, with absolute conf
dence, deposit his hard earned money?
They should be with us upon the
great question shall the people rule"
for the farmer has a deep and abiding
interest in popular government; and,
if he does not already know it, inves-
tigation will reveal to him the fact
that IN the language of the Democratic
National platform "'shall the people
rule is the overshadowing issue which
manifests itself on all the questions
now under discussion"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-08-06

inal antitrust statute according to its
letter, and now, apparently without
reading the opinion of the Court of
Appeals in the Standard Oil rebate
case, rushes a formal statement into
print, briistling with dogmatic asser-
tions concerning the merits of the
controversy in contradiction Of the
courts opinion. And this is from the
appointing and promoting power over
the Federal judiciary. What of respect
for the courts? What of intimidation
of and interference with judges?
What. of submission to the orderly
processes of the law, and so on? Even
Mr. Taft, formerly a Federal judge,
has caught the infection and defends
criticism of the courts. Newspaper
correspondents supposed to be in
spired, even dare to prophesy indig-
nant criticism of the opinion in the
letter of Acceptance We cannot believe
it will come to that, but-well, well,
who would have thought it? And what
are we coming to-?
