THAT MTZZLE SHIT.

The Hartford Times gathers some facts in connection with that ridicu- lous Presidential libel suit against cer- tain offending newspapers, and thus refers to them. 1.-TWO facts," it says, stand out very clearly in regard to the prosecutions for libel which the Washington administration is prOmot- ing against The New York World and The Indianapolis News. The first fact is that the whole business looks liks 8 huge 'blufTe.' No Federal court is likely to lend any aid in the re- vIvaI of obsolete laws like the New York State law of 1895, which is to be used against The World because 1t may be held to, be applicable to the West Point military reservation. and 1t may be provable that copies of The New York World are circulated there. Maryland statute and trying to en- force it in the District of Columbia. The second fact to which we wish to refer Is that the money of the United States is being poured out IavlShly in the attempt to start these fantastic and futile criminal prosecutions. The World adds to it's 1ese majeste' today by declaring: The President is not conducting his inquisltorial, star chamber proceedings against The World for any infamous libels' 1t has uttered about the government or any individual He Is prostituting his power as President of the United States to prosecute The World for the truth 1t has told about Theodore Roosevelt
 The Kansas City Journal thinks there is still much mystery as to. Rosssvslt's object in beginning the suit. and says:
 Inasmuch as the case can not possl- bly, be determined in the brief period remaining to the Roosevelt adminis- tration. 1t must be presumed that PresIdent-elect Tafts Attorney Gen Sral w1il psSsec1ts 1t with ms ,S.f fSSeHr' mr Roosevelt would have undertaken the matter, knowing that 1t could not be concluded during his term of office. without consulting with MT. Taft and obtaining his approval. If this proves to be the case, ono of the first meas ures to be pressed by the Taft admin istration will be this unprecedented attempt to muzsle the American press, which would be most depl0rable. for that this innovation In legal procedure will have a leg to stand on in the courts no lawyer of standing believes, except apparently Attorney General Bouaparte. and he is rather a negli- gible quantity, judging by his past Accomplishments
 Now. 1t seems very plain that The Journal itself clears away the mys- tery when it refers to the proceeding as "an attempt to muzzls the Ameri-

can press" for that fs plainly the object As The World says. the Presi- dent Is prosecuting that newspaper for the truths It has told about Theodore Roosevelt. whether the. statements made by The World and The Indian apoiis News are accurate in all their details and specifications may or may not ever be fully made known. but Rooseveits aninhus Is plain. and his purpose no less SO. He is trying to use his own power as Preident. and the power of the government also. to muzzle the press and to abolish the right of free speech In this country.
 The fact that he is using the public money to pay the expenses of suit which was instituted to gratfy his own spite and venom is not matter to excite surprise. He has reached a point where he not only thinks he may use all the powers of the government just as he pieases. but may also use the public money without authority. It shows the advance we, are making in the direction of despotic rule, and the dangers from which there is at least . hope of escape in the near flu. ture. The intimation conveyed In The Journal extract that Roosevelt expects to leave the prosecution of the news papers as a legacy to Mir. Taft. and that the latter will keep 1t mp. can hardly be true. Let us at least hope to have better opinion of the latter gentleman.
 As The Kansas City Journal Is a Republican newspaper. it may be in- teresting to copy little more from It's editorial. It speaks of the mys- tery connected with the title of the law suit. and of the difficulty of un- derstanding 1t. "If." it comments, ''it means what it says namely, the Uni ted States as a government, meaning the Roosevelt administration, it Is by all odds the most important and far reaching case so far as the freedom of the American press Is concerned that has ever been brought in this country. In this view. it becomes an attempt on the part of the Roosevelt administration to punish the owner and editors of The New York World for criminal libel-that is. for political criticisms of the administration. If such q suit can be successfully main tained. the freedom of the press will become an empty phrase. and the doctrine of iese majeste will have transferred it's seat of sovereignty from the despctic countries of Europe to the hitherto free soil of the Amer ican republic No precedent or parallel for such procedure can be found in the history of this country. Since ths repeal of the sedition law of 17sS. no American turist has con- tended that the United States govern ment has ths power to punish citizens erlminally for statements calculated to injure itself"

Who knows, now, that he may not succeed. and thus disjoint the noses of Peary and all they rest of them? oh7--we are referring to that Eskimo Indian, who it Is stated, is going to hunt the North Pole. We have not seen details. and do not know how he is to be provided. or what are his preparations for the momentous veu- ture. but on general principles we may say that if any human being can withstand and overcome the hard ships. exposures and privatlons of such a venture an Eskimo is the man. But if he finds the pole and comes back to tell of 1t will any believe him without other evidence?

Vasaries of Weight

Metropolitan Magazine.
 Here are two personal experiences If nay own that are equally striking After hav- ing put on too much weight probably through excess and other mistakes of food and drink, I played a severe tennis match and lost seven pounds in weight. Then | took glass of wine. and at once. hv this put on two pounds. Then I took a meal slightly larger than usual and put on an other two and a half pounds. though the meat weighed only one pound.
 On another occasion. when l had lasted for A day or two, and had naturally lost two or three pounds day. I ate meal weighing about pound and went up in weight not one pound hut three pounds
 How can only pound in food add three pounds in weight?
 How. in the case of other people. can three Dounds-a days food and drink-add nothing at all2
 In my own case one principle appears. and thls Is that my nature is at any rate rapid in getting toward the normal. but comparatively slow in getting far below or far above the normal.
 not uncommon but very striking phe. nomenon Is that of the shampooer in a Turkish bath in London, He finds that af- Ger his days work. which involves copous sweating and hard physical exercise and scarcely anything to eat or drink, he goes up in weight some two or three pounds. merely by raatinRs

LOGIC ON HIS SIDE.

Any active man who has served on petit jury in long draWn-out case knows what a wearisome job 1t frs- qaently is. If the case is very im- portant one it may require days to @rnpansl jury, during which time those who had been accepted early have little to interest them. Even after the case has actually begun there's often enough to tire out one who Is accustomed to an active and busy life.
 These things led The Brooklyn Eagle to some reflections. 'In some nnarters," it says. there may be e disposition to crIticise the Tennessee judge before whom the alleged mur- 6srers of United States Senator Car mack are being tried for allowing morning toddy to such of the tales habit of taking it; and ordering that dice be supplied to help pass the time.
 But it must be noted that the long and slow process Of completing the selection of a jury is pretty hard on ehe men who have got into the box early. Their duties haven't begun. They have no part in the chalIeng- ing, no function at all, till the case is opened. The judge Is only trying to lessen the discomforts that are inseparabIe from their present status.
 eff the jury system Is a good one, it follows that no needless annoy ances should produce on the minds of citizens who ought to be ready to be jurors an impression that such pub who bears this fact in mind is there hy taking into consider ration his own highest duty to the commuRity. Drinks and dice are not essential com forts 10 everybody. Forced abstinence from them, however, may be a great discomfort to those on whom ha bit
 
 a great deal of logic on his side.'
 Plainly that judge knows human na- ture pretty thoroughly. If any of the jurors were men accustomed to drink too much, or to drink enough to in the least interfere with their sworn duties the judge would be wrong to knowingly permit them to indulge the habit. but those who are Accustomed to the moderate use of liquor rSGu- Iarly would be ill-ftted to perform such work as jury duty if suddenly deprived of their accustomed stImu- laHt.
 As to the dice to be used tc while away the time when there is nothing to interest them, what harm can come of it 10 those who have accustomed themselves to such diversion? Many of us do not meddle with dice and do not believe in their use, but we sus- pect that a little indulgence of that kind on the part of men who are more or less accustomed to 1t will have a tendency to rest their minds when wearied by court proceedings and real. yy 1t them to give better jury service then would otherwise be possible. As The Eagle says, that judge has a great deal of logic on his side"
