Freedom Of Press

When the Panama libel suits we're
instituted against the New York World
and the indianapolis News, The Bee
confined it's comment to the attempt
TO use the machinery of the federal
courts to prosecute newspapers under
the far-fetched pretense that crime
was committed wherever a copy of the
offending newspaper might be circu-
lated. This feature of the cases we
denounced at the time as uncalled for
and unwarranted when the courts of
the state in which the publications
we're made we're open for redress of
parties agErieved and the various state
libel laws as a rule none too liberal
to publishers If a newspaper we're
exposed to prosecution and to be
dragged to a remote place for trial in
any federal court Jurisdiction when
ever public men thought its criticism
overshot the mark or its exposure of
corruption hit the bulls eye, then our
Wanted freedom of press would be
annihilated and the usefulness of the
newspaper as a public monitor de-
stroyed.
This is the gist of the decision by
the supreme court, which in these
Panama libel cases, re-inforces the
position of The Bee. II there is any
good reason why the newspapers In
question should be brought to answer,
the proceedings should be had in the
state courts at the principal place Of
publication. -.

Passing on the cases involving the
constitutlonality Of laws enacted in
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, the
United States supreme court has up
held the legislation for mutual guar
anty OF bank deposits as a legitimate
exercise Of the police power Of the
states. This decision will make opera
tive the deposit guaranty law passed
BY the Nebraska legislature two years
ago and our people will wait with In
terest 10 see what, II any, effect It has
upon the relative number and stand
ing Of state and national banks, the
latter being exempt from it's pro-
visions The supreme court in affirm
ing the laws that had been questioned
says merely that the states have a
right TO enact them, but does not pass
upon their wisdom or desirability
That side OF the question must be tried
out by actual experiment.
The oklahoma guaranty law has
been in working order for nearly four
years and the Kansas law for more
than year. When the panic of 1907
was fresh in peoples minds and the
scheme Of deposit guaranty was being
loudly advocated It attracted much at
tention as a new financial panacea and
the guaranteed banks of Oklahoma
reaped the benefit of extensive free ad-
vertising. The guaranty law in Okla
homa. however, has not proved the un-
doing of the national banks there, nor
has Il completely prevented failures
OF guaranteed state banks. On the
contrary, according to reliable advioes,
the Oklahoma situation has adjusted
Itself 70 that the banks Of various
kinds go their way without apparently
holding any great advantage over one
another except that which comes from
good MANAGEMENT and safe capitaliEa-
ton. So IL the Oklahoma experience
counts for anything it is rather to be
expected that the enforcement Of the
Nebraska deposit guaranty law, will be
disappointing to all concerned in this,
that It will not come up to the over
drawn and highAcolored pictures
painted by its enthusiastic advocates,
and neither will It exert the depress-
ing influence foreseen by the dismal
vision of It's opponents.
The Nebraska law, 1t must be re-
membered. differs materially from the
original Oklahoma law, by. which in
the heat Of the campaign people were
led to believe that depositors of failed
banks would be protected by the UNI
limited guaranty of all banks in the
state and be able to secure immediate
repayment of their money by merely
presenting their deposit books. The
Nebraska law provides for a limited
guaranty only for claims proved to
the receiver and certified by court or
der after due notice sure to take sixty
days. Il will take a bank failure or
two 20 let us know. just what benefits
our deposit guaranty law confers, and
we sincerely hope this test may be long
deferred

Foxy Boy. Champ.

AS persistent self-advertiser
Champ Clark is in fair way to make
a record, for scarcely day passes
that he does not break into print with
some opinion or proposal designed to
attract special attention to himself.
His latest is a public announcement
that he favors a constitutional amend
ment to let the president hold office
six years and make him ineligible to
reelection. Champs avowed reason
for his view is that the unwritten rule
OF two terms and no more has been
observed for over 100 years and to
break it would be dangerous, so he
would fix it so 1t could not be broken.
Champ thus confides to a sympathetic
public that he would be willing to quit
with one term in the White House II
he. could only. get that. Incidentally
he couples his one-term six-year presi-
depcy wfth Z three-year tenn Tor menu
bers OF congress, with no limit on the
number Of times they may stand for
reelection. Champ is now member
Of congress and has hopes of being
reelected from time 10 time, but he
would evidently prefer to be required
to go before his constituents for a
new vote of confidence only once every
three years instead of once every two
years. Champ is a wise guy and a
foxy boy. His proposed constitutional
amendment, however, is not yet
adopted.

st. Louis Globe-Demorat.
If Hoxsey and Moissnt, who were killed
by the fall from their aeroplanes almost
at the same hour had accomplished the
feats they had undertaken the practical
problems connected with, air navigation
would not have been advanced In the least.
Hoxsey proposed to rise to a height of
1900 feet, which would have made a new
record by small margin. Molsant was
dashed to earth as he prepared TO start
on a sustained crcling course to win the
long distance prize offered for the year
1910 His success would have added moth
ing TO the utilities of aviation. But the
performances in which they were engaged
represent false move in aeronautics A
branch of the show business in which
thrilling acts are rated according TO the
peril would be Of no more value than
trapeze sensattonalism or circus leaps for
life. HOxsey already held the altitude rec
ord OF over two miles, and others had
mounted nearly as far Many long-dis-
lance flights have been accomplished. Is

new field for transportation of at least
average safety? II the first steamboats,

scramble. Speed on the water and rail
have been immensely developed, but not by
playing hippodrome. The essential facts OF
