Washington, Jan. a. Relative to
President Roosevelt's endeavor to
use the libel laws TO punish news
papers that have attacked the Pana.
ma Canal purchase, an utterance
contained In Thomas Jefferson's In
auguaril address at the beginning
OF his second term as President Is
being much discussed here.
President Jefferson l04 years ago
adopted n position under similar
circumstances exactly the reverse
of that now taken by President
Roosevelt.
That which Jefferson then said IL
now being referred to as exactly ex-
pressing the views Of those who are
criticising Roosevelt.
"Daring this course OF adminis-
tration," President Jefferson said,
"and In order to disturb 1t, the ar
tillery OF the press has been leveled
against us, charged with whatsoever
its Righteousness could devise or
"These abuses OF an institution so
important to freedom and science
are deeply to be regretted, inasmnch
as they tend to lesson its usefulness
and sap It's safety.
"They might, indeed, have been
corrected by wholesome punish
ments reserved to and provided by
the laws of the several States
against falsehood and defamation,
but public duties more urgent press
on the time of public servants and
the offenders have, therefore, been
left to find their punishment In the
public Indignation"
President jefferson then said that
an interesting experiment had beer
made as to whether freedom OF dis
cussion unaided by power is moi
sufficient for the propagation ant
protection of truth"
He declared that the experiment
had proven successful in this Ian
guage:
"No inference is here intended
that the law provided by the Statel
against false and defamatory publ
cations should not be enforced. HI
who has time renders a service t
public morals and public trauquilit,
J In reforming these abuses by salu
tary coercions of the law, but tn
experiment is noted to prove tina
since truth and reason have main
tanned their ground against falls
! opinions In league with false facts
the press, confined to truth, need
,. no other legal restraint.
1.-THE public Judgment will correc
{ false rcasonlngs and opinions OH
full hearing of all parties, and N
), other definite line can be drawn be
tween the inestimable liberty OF tn
Q press and it's demoralizing licen
e tiousness."

However Much newspapers or
public men may criticise the political
policies OF . President, says The
Commoner, they have ever been
loathe to become personal In their
attack. Indeed, the public sentiment
has fixed line beyond which critics
of Presidents have not dared to go.
The fact that newspaper editors and
public men have stepped far beyond
that line with respect to the present
chief executive only indicates the
large liability Mr.. Roosevelt has In
Cured by his wanton, reckless as
saults upon other men. The New
York Evening Post prints an edi-
torial from which the following Is
taken:
@Ail this, however, only throws
us back on the queststion why Con-
gress should have been heaping up
80 intense hatred Of the President.
Was It due to jealousy Of his popu-
larityf Was It envy Of his famef
Was 1t even resentment at his die
tatorial manners2 None of these
things. The truth of the matter II
ia delicate thing to state, but no
one who has any acquaintance with
congressman, no one who knows
Washington, can have any doubt
what that truth IL. IL is, In a word,
that Congress does not believe In
President Roosevelt's moral SINGER
ity. II thinks him hypocritical. He
has lectured II and the country on
truthfulness, yet nine out Of ten
congressman believe Mr.. Roosevelt
himself to be habituaiiy untrutiiiul.
He has posed as champion Of fair
play, yet congressman believe him
10 fight foul. They picture him as
living In and delighting In an atmos-
phere of suspicion, intrigue and cal
umny. His talk OF the square deal
they scoif at as sheer pretense. The.
say that he protects favorites, aucf
as Paul Morton and the steel cor
poration, while furiously prosecut
ing his enemies or those whom h'
, thinks he can make political capita
{ by attacking. In short, Congress II
thoroughly convinced that all Thu
superior moral exhortstion which
has had from President Roosevelt
has come from a man who allows II
himself the thing he condemns II
Others. Mind, we do not say tina
Congress is right about 1t. We onl.

HOW Lands BUILT A FIRE.

Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands, the
man who imposed the twenty-nine
million fine against the Standard
OIL company. recently gave an ac-
cused man the minimum sentence
OF sixty days in the house Of cor
rection. That, however, Is not the
interesting part Of the story which
Ia involved In subsequent proceed
ings. From the Chicago Record
Herald report the following is taken ;
The prisoner turned away from
the bench to the deputy marshal
waiting to take him to Jail. He
turned his coat collar up around his
throat.
| "Aronson,' exclaimed the court
sharply, where's your overcoatf'l
"Your honor,'' said the white
SLAYER" l Amt got none. That
was one Of the first things ! soaked
when come TO Chicago"
"Bailiff,n said the judge, "gei
mine and give 1t to him. Now
gentlemen" he added, turning to
the lawyers, "we'll proceed with
the next case"
An hour later Judge Landis' thir
figure was breasting the breeze thai
tore down Dearborn street.
"Hi, there, judge" shouted ,
friend, where's your overcoat?'
~ used 1t to light fire.
USED It to light fire?"
Yes said Judge Lands, q
used 1t to light fire TO keep warn
inside of me the spirit of charit,
that life in great city like Chicago
tends to freeze"
And his friend was still gazing a
him In establishment when he jumped
on his car.
Would that In every section o
our eountry--and In every corner o
the world--there were more sucl
fires as Judge Landis lighted whel
he gave his raiment to the poor. A
simple act, indeed, on the part o
this federal judge, hut 1t Ii Of TIN
kind that makes the heart beai
faster The C0mmoner.
