Not the Governments Business.

William ]. Bryan in an editorial
in the current issue of his paper,
The Commoner, denounces the
Roosevelt doctrine that newspa-
per publisher Is liable to prosecution
by the government for criticising
the President. Bryan says:
"ThePresident's proposition that
the government can institute libel
proceedings against an individual
or a newspaper for criticism of the
governmen t's action is not only a
new doctrine, but an extremely OBJ
jectionable one. If any individual
has been llbeled, he has his action
at law. If the individual concern
ed does not see fit to prosecute his
case the government cannot be-
come his champion.
"The President says that the ex-
ecution of the Panama purchase
was in the hands Of Attorney Gen
eral Knox and that he, the Presi-
dentt, approved of everything that
Mr.. Knox did. If either the Presi-
dent or Mr.. Knox is charged with
improper conduct, the courts are
open to them, but the President
cannot use the Attorney General
to punish those who criticise him,
Senator Knox or any other official.
"Whatever offense the New York
World has committed-if it has
committed an ofense-is not
against the government, but againt
individuals who have temporarily
acted for the government, or against
individuals who are accused of
bringing improper influences to
bear upon officials.
"The publisher of the World is
On solid ground when he resists the
Presidents attempt to convert
newspaper criticism of officials in
to criticism of the government it.
self. The Presidents message is
indefensible insofar as it asserts
the right of the government to
prosecute the World or its publish
er, and he will find that he has
overstepped the limits of his au-
thority if he attempts to use the
Attorney Generals Office in the
way he has proposed. The Presi-
dent is not the government; a criti-
cism of him is not a criticism of
the government.

Besides, how could l safely per-
