POWER USED
IN THE SUIT
And fragrant and Dangerous
Exercise Thereof Says
Willett.

WASHINGTON, ~. G., Feb. s.
Characterizing as the most fragrant
and the most dangerous exercise of
|ilsurpt power ever witnessed in this
country the grand Jury inyestiga-
tons which have been in progress
for several weeks past in connection
with the alleged Panama libel case,
Representative Willett, of New York.
who several weeks ago vigorously
attacked President Roosevelt on the
floor of the House. today came. to
lie defense Of the papers whose al
le ged lihelous publications are being
investigated, declaring that the
courts of the United States. have no
Jurisdiction in cases of libel, against
:e government Of the United States.
st has not been conferred upon
lem by any legislative act, he.
.sserted. land they possess no Grim
.aal Jurisdiction derived from the
common law" He called the pres
ent investigation the most extra
ordinary proceeding on the part of
the federal government which has
shocked the country since the days
of the Federalist party This pro-
ceeding has for weeks been going on
right here in the. District, OF Column
bia. under the very shadow of the
Capitol, and seems to have been in
stigated, II not directly ordered by
the President"
A large part of Mr.. Willett's
speech was taken up with extracts
from various court decisions by
which he attempted to prove that
there is no logical justification for
prosecuting cases of alleged libel
against the government. He declar-
ed that the old English doctrine re-
|lating:to the libeling of the govern
ment or of the great public officers
has been rejected in all the states
in the Union since the Revolution of
1916, and that 1t had, before that
time. been rejected in England by
the act abolishing in the reign OF
Charles IL the Star Chamber Court.
He asserted that the doctrine has
ever since been regarded ''as an I'M
l-safe. unreasonable, unjustifiable
and unconstitutional felton, He
held that the views expressed by
John Milton in his famous speech
ON the freedom Of the press and the
views OF Lord Erskine in his defense
of Thomas Paine, when the philos-
opher was indicted for libel upon
the British government, have fixed
the law on this subject in opposition
to the old despotic theory of pattern
alism. on which he said. the pres
ent prosecution is founded"
He ridiculed the contention which
he said the governments attorneys
are reported to hold. that though
the principle that the government
of a country with constitution like
ours cannot be libeled applies every
where else in the United States 1t
does not apply to the District of Co
lumbia.

ish. So. it is in reference to the pro-
gress of the city, It is In the keep
ing largely Of the residents thereof.
and IT appears though the knowledge
is to be deplored that there were just
enough home people to keep the
city back, to starye Its progress. to
let 1t wither aud die, and the pride
of these Is so false that they do not
want the outside world to know 1t,
while they are thus killing their
own city.
II such had as much concern for
the welfare of the city as they man
ifest over the fact that others may
find opt what Is being done here
there would be no occasion for their
anxiety and worry, for, all could
then go forth like brave men and
herald to the world what strides
is taking.
Indeed, remorse has seized some
of them, 1t seems. to the extent that
they cover, when they realize that
men and women everywhere are like
~ to find them out. They now want
to hide their misdeeds by tfumplng
up more Vaccinations designed to
injure friends of progress in partic-
hlar and the public. welfare in gener-
al.
Brave men these to oppose the
welfare of the city but too cowardly
to let the world know what they
have done!
