Press Comment on Criminal
"A Libel Suit Against The Forum

The Forum publishes SEINE Of the
comments by tie state press on the
criminal libel suit started against the
manager and managing editor of The
Forum by III H. Thompson of Cando.
The complaint was made In the inter-
ests Of both Governor Burke and form
or u. q, Senator Thompson. They are

an uniucky day In the Fargo Forum
Office. That is last Friday was. For
the sheriff Of Towner county stepped
In and placed Editor Brewer and Man
ager Piumley under arrest on a trim
inai warrant, charging them with
criminal libel. This is the result of
the charges made by The Forum
Against Governor Burks, ex-senator
Thompson and w. L. Steekwei1, con-
corning the gale of some school lands,
The case is not, as Nigh. be expected
a civil suit brought against the
Forum, for damages, It is criminal
suit and the editor and manager, If
found guilty. may be sent to tn. penl-
tentiary.
Now The Forum, Of late years, has
not been over particularly friendly to
The Broadaxe In fact, 1t has not
spared the rod, when 1t got fits hands
upon IT, And, in its own weak way,
The Broadaxe has returned eli such
favors, with interest added, where
such was within its resources. Yet
that condition does not affect our
opinion Of this matter. Both the men
under arrest and threatened with a
shameful penalty have always treated
The Broadaxe man, with the utmost
personal courtesy. And he has tried
to keep even with them, that way, too,
1t cannot look with any degree OF com
placency upon the possibility Of one

souris Messenger: sad is the plight

ferred by H. Fl. Thompson OF Cando,
forced away from their homes and
loved ones by an unrelenting sheriff.
transported to Cando, hostile town
in a hostile territory and arraigned be-
fore hostile justice. They waived
examination and were placed under
$500 bonds each, (Which, luckily they
happened to have in their jeans) and
released to appear before the district
court in May. What their ultimate
fate will be. time only can tell, but II

1t is a queer thing how the wheel Of
fate revelves. The libel law Of the
state was changed 10 make ID q felony,
at the ninth session of the legislature
--fsO5. Until that time libel was
migdemeanor But about that time
there arose first the Fumbiihgs that
presaged the advent of the i.lsurgsnt
movement. There were toe many capt..
toll commission deals ana iootings of
Alaska and penitsntiary steals TO suit
those who were In the saddle. A good
stiff whip was prepared by which the
errant newspapers might be threaten
ed into obsequieuhness. Despite TIE
protests Of q number of newspaper
men--the law making criminal libel a
felony went through and was signed
Those that opposed Its passage were
mostly incipient insurgents against
the ring rule. It was a copy after the
Pennsylvania bosses grand idea for
muzxlinB the press. And, just like the
Pennsylvania iaw--it failed in its mis-
sion. But IL has still remained upon
the statute books. However, much the
candidates since then for house and
senate Pretended to love the news
paper men that supported them for
election, their love did not go far
enough TO remember them when they
entered the halls Of the Legislature.
Something like these lovable con-
gressmen who get our support and
then go to congress and take the bread
out of our mouths by voting to permit
the government o print envelopes at
less than cost; or who run joker in
the tariff bill that increases the cost
Of print paper, by increasing the tariff
under the pretense of lowering 1t. Yet
these same congressman are united
every election in urging every news
paper to support them and the grand
old parasite.
And now, after FIVE years, he only
newspaper men that are in danger are
the friends of those who wanted this
law and who helped to push IT through.
Who thought then that The Forum
would be the first to feel the scorpions
lash? That Psalmist was wise in his
day and generation when he wrote
They have digged pit before me in
to the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves. Selah."
