MRS. BAcoN's BILL PASSED.
Evansville, Ind, CourierD

Evansville, Ind, Courier
Evansville feels a special satisfac-
ton in the passage of the housing law.
1t is the result of the labor for more
than five years OF brave little wom-
an of this city. She aroused the people
of whole state to the need of better
housing laws, she drafted the bill and
she induced an apathetic legislature
to pass it. In accomplishing this she
has been practically single-handed
When one observes how slowly re-
forms are brought about it is almost
inconceivable how mild-mannered,
soft.spoken gentlewoman could achieve
so signal success in even four or five
years. In the first place no city was
aware that il had slums or the making
of slums. The people of Indiana had
no idea that such things existed until
Mrs. Bacon brought it to their notice.
In the second place no one cared
very much-except Mrs. Bacon The
owner was against any changes and
the tenants were the most helpless be-
ings in society.
But Mrs. Bacon brought knowledge
of the conditions home to the public
then aroused a sentiment TO better
them and finally secured recognition
from the legislature. All honor to Mrs.
Bacon for her noble work.

Last weeks mail brought a packet

roses and pansies and full of the most
fascinating reading; this morning s

EDITORIAL VIEWS.
MUzZLING THE PRESS.
Fort Wayne, Ind, News. }

(fOrL wayne, lnQ., News
1t is interesting to note that certain
tender-skinned state senators have
caused to be inserted in the new cor
rupt practices act section declaring
it an offense punishable by fine and
imprisonment for newspaper to criti-
else or ridicule by word or cartoon any
candidate for office or to endeavor to
influence votes for or against any
measure pending before the legislat-
ture.
And while it is interesting to note
this refreshing amendment, it is illu-
mining to observe that the men who
put it over were Traylor and Gearing,
the same chaps who fathered the bills
providing for Sunday theaters, open
saloons on holidays and the reduction
of the penalty of burglary. What other
vicious legislation they have backed
the News is unable to say, but it nat
urally infers that they have stood for
all that was bad and steadfastly OPP
posed all that was good. 1t is not re-
markable that men like these are op-
posed to newspaper publicity, for it
would, indeed, magnifcently serve
their ends if the press could be pre-
vented from exposing candidates who
are unworthy or attacking legislative
bills that are directed against the pub
lie policy. They would enjoy nothing
better than the opportunity to do what
they wish to do without interference
from decent newspapers. 1t would pro-
tect them from annoyance and humili-
alton, and would enable them the bet.
ter to promote the abandoned sort of
legislation they appear to cherish and
to champion.
The house has accepted this absurd
amendment that strikes so impudently
at the liberty of the press, but in spite
of that fact the new statue will hardly
terrify or coerce any reputable news
paper. For the provision is manifestly
unconstitutional and will be calmly
ignored. A newspaper is guaranteed
by our constitution the right to dis
cuss not only men but measures, and
this right is one that will be success
fully defended. For any legislature to
menace with fine and Imprisonment
the editor who dares attack a bad can
didate or ridicule a weak one is so
manifest an infraction of our nations
fundamental law that it provokes moth
ing more substantial from those
threatened than smile of plying con-
tempt. And it is even more ridiculous
to provide that newspapers shall not
attempt to influence pending legisla-
tion-that they shall not have the
right to denounce corrupt bills or to
promote those they deem of public val
ue.
The whole proposition is in the ma
ture of whining saueal from unde
sirable public servants who have been
flayed and dashed by the newspapers
for their vicious conduct and who
smarting under the castigation, seek
to play even and to provide immunity
for future evil Vaccinations by muz.
Zling the press. They will not succeed
in that. But there is one thing their
pernicious activity really may accom-
plish, and that is the vitiating of the
