THE sun SUES FOR, LIBEL.

Suits for libel against newspa pers
are probably of every day occurrence
in this country. But it is seldom that
the worm turns in this regard and a
newspaper, itself, sues some in
diVidual or other publication for dam
aging it through false and malicious
statements And because of the fact
that the New York Sun. which has
probably been sued more times for
libel than any other newspaper in the
world. has begun such a suit on its
own hook, the matter is worthy of
notice.
Announcement was made recently
on the Suns editorial page that it had
instructed its attorney to begin at once
an action for libel against the Life
Publishing company, claiming punitive
damages for the publication of an
article signed "MetcaIfe'' in a recent
issue of Life. This article is in four
sections, each bearing the marginal
title "$151." 1t says that Life week
before called attention TO the dis
charge of Walter P. Eaton, dramatic
critic of the Sun, and prophesied that
the Suns columns would probably dis
close the reason. and that the reason
was disclosed in the Sun of Novemb Der
8 in the form of an advertisement of
the theatrical attractions of Klaw &
Erlanger. which for some time had
been absent from the Sun. con-
temporary with the employment of
Mr. Eaton, whose frank description
of the nastiness of a certain show
and candid criticism of another per
nance did not exactly conciIiate the
advertisers
ITO state the matter briefly" the
article continued, ION the face of it
the Sun was rewarded for Mr.. Eaton's
for no apparent cause ex-
cept that he wrote too fearlessly and
too honestly. by the insertion of adj
