Gompers, the individual citizen, could assur-
edly be SO restrained why does he become
exempt by doing the mischief as editor?
It is true that Congress and state legislatures
have no authority to abridge the freedom Of
the press, but the law must be construed reas-
onably. Ones common sense tells him that
this liberty must not degenerate into license
to publish obscenities, seditous matter provo
cative of lawlessness, or other stuff injurious
to public morals or violative of private rights.
In fact, Congress and State legislation does
abridge the liberty of the press, in that very
way,-and quite properly. 1t will not do to
say that the editor and publisher can be
reached by damage suits and criminal war
rants
There are cases in which these remedies are
inadequate. To put stop to the wrong doing,
to prevent irreparable injury and to avoid
multiplicity of suits, equity will take juris-
diction and, by injunction, protect the peace,
the property and the business which are in
jeopardy
While we think this is the sound legal view
of the question, we dep1ore the harsh punish
ment inflicted upon the labor leaders, A fine
OF 500, or week in jail, would have met all
the demands of Justice.

$4,000 KILLED BY ACCIDENT.

The total annual mortality from accidents in
the United States among adult wage-earning
men is between 10000 and $4,000, of which
at least one-third and perhaps one-half should
be saved by intelligent and rational methods
of factory inspection, legislation, and control.
There also were approximately 100000 ac-
cidents that were not fatal, curtailing the nor
NAL longevity among those exposed to the of
ten needless risk of industrial casualties.
These conclusions are announced in bull
letin by the bureau of labor which advocates a
more earnest effort to profit by the industrial
methods of European countries.
Add to this the number of children, also, aud
you will hardly believe the figures.
How much better it would be, if Congress
would give more attention to such legislation
as this instead of to making appropriations for
a big navy, and increasing salaries?
Or wasting time in rebuking the President
for nsinuating that there are members of that
body who need their records investigated by
secret service detectives?
Since Congress interpreted certain parts of
the Presidents message to mean that members
of that body were dishonest and needed the
secret service agents to look into their records,
things have been lively in Washington.
And the end is not yet in sight.

WASHINGTON, GARFIELD, MCKINLEY:
INDUSTRIOUS VICTIMS OF SURGERY.
(Continued from Page Nine.l

Continued from Page Nine)
Faubourg St Antoine, the poor quarter of
Paris
Ex-President Washington, a hale hearty
old man. rode out over his plantation on cold
rainy day, got some snow on the hair which
lay on his neck, did not change his clothes be-
fore dining, as he was in the habit of doing;
did not before going to bed take hot foot
bath and big drink of whiskey, as he ought
to have done,-and did not even dry out his
hair! The melted and the hair on the
neck remained wet
Here was imprudence enough, in all con-
science.
Next day he had cold and a sore throat
Both steadily grew worse as the afternoon
wore on. He treated the matter lightly, reflts-
ing to allow anything done for him. Late in
the night chill walked him, and his windpipe
began to close. Still, he refused to allow his
wife to rise and cali a servant Neither Wash
ington nor his lady appear to have had the
remotest idea of what ought to be done. Mel
Their of them did blessed thing during the
fearful hours between midnight and day. With
the coming of the morn, the blood-letting be-
gan Washington himself caused his reluc-
tant overseer to open a vein and let out half
pint of the precious blood, every drop of
which was so necessary at such crisis.
Finally, DR.. Craik arrives from Alexandria.
and not knowing what else to do, the good
man does the worst possible thing-lets out
what blood the overseer had left in the veins.
Washington did not choke to death as some
suppose He could talk to the last and his
breathing became easier. Then of what did
he die?
Of the surgery which exhausted him. He
could not recuperate because the loss of blood
left him no reserve Of vitality to counteract
the natural exhaustion incident to the disease.

Liberty of the Press the GOmpers Case.

We trust that President Roosevelt will
promptly pardon the labor leaders to whom
District Of Columbia Judge has given severe
sentences of imprisonment for Contempt Of
Court"
Readers of the Teffersonian do not need to be
told that we condemn the boycott Just as we
condemn the blacklist. Both are brutal and
both are malicious. We think that Mr. Com
pers did wrong to continue to advertise the
"Unfair list" after the Court ordered him to
stop it. We cannot agree with Judge Park
er,-able lawyer though he is,-that a Court
has authority to enjoin newspaper, maya
zine or book
Liberty Of the Press is not more sacred than
liberty of the person. The right of free speech
is not of higher dignity than the right to work
and to own property.
Yet no one questions the authority of
Court to enoin us from using our property
or Our freedom of person in such way as to
iniure others We consider freedom of speech
one of Our dearest liberties,-but would we
question the action of Court if for example,
some unprotected woman was given the bene-
fit of an injunction against the tornenting and
persistent etter-writing or ove-making of
would-be lover?
We think that Judge Parkers statement is
preposterous when he declares that the bust
ness of citizen cannot be protected by iniunc-
ton when some editor is trying to ruin it by
attacking it in his periodical
Why should editors and publishers be put
upon a different footing from other classes Of
peopleA>
Why may not court legally restrain Com
pers, the editor, from doing irreparable injury
to his fellow man?

Editorial Notes.
BY 7. .. Watson.

We are glad to have in Georgia so distin-
guished guest as Mr. Taft and we want to
see genuine Southern hospitality extended but
we hate to see him made a cheap advertise
ment
Mr.. Taft is quiet, unassuming gentleman
who came South to enjoy our climate and rest,
and not to be made public show.
No doubt the one who is most tired of all
of this cheap fuss over him is Mr.. Taft himself
den Of the tax paver will continue TO crow in
stead Of decrease.
With our foreign possessions on our hands,
the Panama canal costing five times as much
as was estimated, the building and maintain
ing of an immense navy; keeping up large
standing army and tendency to increase the
salary of every person connected with the gov
ernnent where will the taxpayers burden end !?

and we are disappointed at his apparent back
down; but he may have few trump cards
which he will play when Congress passes the
resolution calling him to task for using such
language.
If he has, then look for the fun to begin
Things will be told on some of our big men
that will surprise the majority of people, and
"the folks at home" will begin to sit up and
take notice.
The stir caused when Senator Baileys and
Senator Foraker's Standard Oil records were
made public will be summer breeze compared
to tornado.
But it will be good thing for the whole
country to let the people know just what kind
of representatives they have at Washington.
One trouble with the country now is that we
know too little about what our representatives
do after they get to Washington.
Yes encourage Congress and the President
to keep up the row, and let lis find out who IS
honest and who is dishonest.
Well, the fireworks have begun.
The House of Representatives has called the
President to task for that part of his message
which was Objectionable, and ordered it strick-
en- from the record
This left the President where he either had
to fight back or back down, and he has
begun to fight back.
His first shot seems to have hit the bulls
eve and it was aimed at his old enemy, Sen.
Tillman.
The majority of people were disguised when
Congress kicked up such row over the fact
that the President even limited that member
of that body could be anything but as pure as
snow.
For we remember that two members Of that
body were convicted Of crime only a few years
ago.
And we know it still has Platt Foraker, De
pew Bailey and others among its members, to
saw nothing of many lesser lights.
We expected to hear of the Presidents guns
being turned upon one of those whom many
people believe to be untrue to their trust, but
we did not expect him to fire the first shot at
the Senator from South Carolina.
One Of the charges brought against Mr.. llll-
man is that he was connected with the Oregon
land frauds, and the other is that he has
abused his ranking privileges as Senator,
and used it for private use. The latter charge
Mr.. Tillman virtually confirms when he ad-
mits that he has been sending his typewriter
from home to Washington and from Washing
ton home through the mails, under his frank.
The former charge is established in Tillman's
own letter, produced by the President
Hon Champ Clark of Missouri, has been
elected Democratic leader of the next Congress
to succeed Hon. John Sharp Williams who
goes to the Senate.
It is to be hoped that the Democrats will
accomplish more under Clark's leadership
than they did under Williams
Mr.. Clark will certainly be an improvement
upon the man who was personally not sorry
that Speaker Cannon was reelected" Any
