The Goebel Libel Bill.

From the Fourth Estate.
There is pending in Congress bill that
apparently affects only the newspapers
but that really touches questions of sim
pie justice and equity and that ought to
become law at once. 1t relieves a situa-
ton that is now full of peril to publish
ers and that helps only adventures.
The provisions of the measure are that
lbe; suits based on the same publica-
ton. when brought in the United States
courts, may be joined SO that the total
damage. if any is found. shall be appor-
toned among the offenders, and that In
such cases it shall be allowable to show
what damages have already been secured
for the same publication.
1t is perhaps not generally known. says
the Hartford Courant. though the news
paper world Knows 1t, that there are
people who have got rich out of alleged
damage"
The law. whose aim is supposed to be
justice. does not permit a showing OF
what libel has already yielded to its
sufferers" and each suit has to go it
alone.
There is one conspicuous case where
more than 100000 has been collected
from what was declared to be a SANDER.
although it was devoid of malice and
came about through copying a police
blotter
After few suits under one libel have
been won the Sufferers" do not have
10 try any more; they just show the rec
ord and say what they will settle for
There is no intention behind this new
law of evading responsibility for libelous
publication. Its sole purpose is to pre-
vent such publication becoming a gold
mine to those who profess to consider 1t
a damage. The bill should pass and
states should pass similar legislation.

The Burden on the Public.

Some public-spirited citizen with plenty
of time to engage in profitable endeavor
in behalf of his fellows might devote
himself for few days. while the Union
station trackage bin remains in confer
ence. to a computation Of the total dis
lance Travelled afoot by the helpless pub
lie in journeying between the trains and
the electric cars. The total for a single
day would be several thousand miles.
This mileage. translated into terms OF
time, would represent heavy burden
upon the travelling community Regard
less of the physical WEAKNESS and. in
many cases, the acute suffering involved
In this long tramp. the handicap put upon
the people by the delays in the legislative
process is a serious one. which should be
brought squarely to the attention of the
conferees on the trackage bill
Surely something should be done to
bring the question to climax. This busi-
ness of waiting along from week to week
IN hope that a start will be made in the
long task of providing the necessary
tracks is discouraging. OF course, the
people will get used to the troublesome
conditions after a while. They get used
