ONE OF RoOsEvELT's CHICKENS

AS we understand Mr.. Roosevelt's
Idaho, it is trying to destroy the lib
erty of the press by contempt-of-
court proceedings against Roose-
welt newspaper that criticized its de-
cision excluding Roosevelt electors
from the official ballot.
On this issue The Worlds sympa-
thies are decidedly with Mr.. Roose-
Welt and the Boise Capital News.
Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt under
took to destroy the liberty of the
press in this country by inventing a
federal libel law and throwing all
the power Of the United States gov
eminent against The World and the
Indianapolis News because of certain
articles that they had printed in re-
gard to the sale of the Panama canal.
IL the supreme court of the United
States had sustained Mr. Roosevelt s
lawless action there would have
been no freedom of political discus
| sion left to the American people. Ex-
cept by President Tafts permission,
no newspaper would have dared
| print any of Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches
against the president during the re-
J cent campaign. Those speeches
would have been "a libel upon the
| United States government
We hope the Idaho supreme court
| is not trying to do in a small way
| what Mr.. Roosevelt tried to do in q
large way. If such proves to be the
| case. however, we do not believe tina.
the editor of the Boise Capital News
will ever be punished for contempt
The same United States supreme
court that protected the liberty Of
the press from a presidential reign oi
terror will protect it from a judicia
reign of terror.---New York World.

TEACHING FOREIGNERS.

new plan to teach foreigners
English is being tried out by Prof.
Schwartz, educational director of the
Gary Y. NJ. c. A Prof Schwartz is
going about the work quietly and
his policy is at first to bring the
school to pupil rather than bring the
pupil to the school.
The Cudahy soap plant and car
works at East Chicago has been
selected as the place for the first ex-
a half hour for lunch. Noon day
lessons are being given and it is
found that at least fifteen minutes is
available and already twenty-five
eager men have Joined the classes
1t is probable that teaching will be
arranged SO that the men can eat
during class sessions thus gaining
more time.
If the Cudahy experiment is sue
cessful the noon hour teaching sys-
TEN will be applied to the several
Gary steel mills which now employe
upwards of 1900 men, more thar
half of whom are foreigners.
Increased efficiency to the cor.
porations, chances for advancement
to the workman, and many advant
ages should accrue from the plan
Too long have we neglected the wei
fare Of our foreign citizens and it il
pleasing to learn of the launching o
Prof Schwartz's plans.
