An Able Assistant.

The small son of a clergyman who
was noted for his tiresome sermons
overheard two friends of his father
saying how dry they were. and how
hard it was to keep awake during
them. The following Sunday, while
the minister was preaching, be was
astounded to see his son throwing
pebbles at the congregation from the
gallery. The clergyman frowned
angrily at him, when the boy piped
out in clear treble voice:
ITS all right, pop. You go on
preaching; I'm keeping them awake"

An impecunious acquaintance Of
mine literally coerced me into ac-
eompanying him to a pawnbroker ..
old chap. He desired to obtain go an
watch at a reduced figure. as It wereli
and asked the blooming pawnbroksr
person if his wants might be graft
fed. And the fellow retorted.
"Yep. you've struck the right shove
shop, pal We've got the finest line
of hccked tickers, kettles or thimbles
you ever shot your glims at. Buh-.
lieve me, bob. everything In soak here
is strictly flush, and our turnip me-
tiers can keep time like the Bull
garian army"

ed the burden of proof is to rest frs
on the plaintiff to prove that the alleg
ed defamatory offense has been com
mitted by the defendant and then OF
the defendant to prove the truth of thu
words or articles in question. The bill
is No. "a.
! In short, the whole burden rests upor
the defendant.
When newspaper prints an article
or cartoon, and by the terms of the
bill the cartoon is included as libel if il
happen to be offensive to those pic.
tured, it does so openly, above board,
and with neither desire nor chance tt
hide if it so wished. 1t has removed
any "burden of proof so far as that
act is concerned, from the complain
ant by accepting and acknowledging
the publication.
The newspaper, in short, publicly and
before complaint is made, acknowl-
edges to the people that it has pub
Then this new bill proceeds to con-
slider that anything the newspaper has
published, regarding which complaint
is made is false and libelous unless the
newspaper can prove it to be other
wise.
Just how statement can be false
and libelous until the state has proven
that the statement is false is rather
beyond the intelligence of any common
mortal. And that the crime of libel
can exist before the state has shown
that the statement complained of is
false is just as miraculous demon
stration of ingrowing brains.
Finally in all our criminal practice
there must be shown an intent and in
his carefully thought out plan for throt-
Ting free speech intent is absolutely
ignored.
There is vast difference between
printing statement to injure a man
because of personal enmity and printing
a statement regarding man in p ublic
life for the purpose of protecting the
people of a political unit from politi-
cal adventurer In the one case there
is an evident vicious and criminal in
tent, in the other simply laudible
purpose to protect the people.
There is as wide a difference between
the publication of charge which is
baseless and false withno investigation
whatever and the publication of state
ment in which in spite of careful inves-
tigation some slight error may have
crept.
The proposed law classes all these as

SUITS FOR MILLIONS
OUT OF TITANIC WRECK

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Stories o
death, suffering and permanent phys
ical injuries; accounts Of utter finan
cial restitution and recitals of loss
of costly gems and laces and gowns
are to be found set forth in the forma
phrasing of the law in the 279 claims
thus far filed with United States Com
missioner Gilchrist for damages due tc
the Titanic disaster.
The total amount is $5,5O0,OOO.
Death claims constitute the larger
part of this sum. Then follow claims
for loss of baggage and personal eff
fects. Many European countries and
most states of the union are repre-
scented.
The largest claim is that of Mrs.
Irene Wallace Harris, widow of Henry
B. Harris, New York theatrical man
ager. She asks $1,0O0,OOO for his
death. She also demands $27,700 for
the loss of her effects and $4,625 for
his. On pearl string $4,000 is
claimed by Mrs. Harris, on set of
diamond vest buttons, $3.50 and on
gold cigarette case 500.
The smallest claim is for $3.50,
registered mail lost by Mayer & Null
Ter of Germany The most costly sin
gle item listed is pink diamond, on
which Charlotte D. M. Cardeza of Ger
mantown, Pa, claims $4,000. The
least expensive single item is an eye
cup, for which Fred o. Spedden OF New
York wants 25 cents. He asks $1646
for other belongings.
The second largest damage claim is
that of Mrs. May Futrelle of Plymouth.
Mass. who asks not only 100000 for
the loss of her husband, Jacques Flu
trelle. novelist, but $4791.5O for his
baggage, and $437S.50 for hers. Man
uscripts and plans for books she val
lpes at $4,000.
The third largest claim was filed by
Mrs. Elizabeth C. Case of Rochester,
asking 100000 for the death of her
husband. Howard B. Case. He was
director of the Vacuum Oil
company and drew $4,000 yearly.
For the deaths of William Skoogh
of Sweden, his wife and their four
Young children, Mr.. and Mrs. Anders
Johanson, grandfather and grand
mother of the dead man, ask $l25, oO0.
They want $225O besides for baggage.
Mrs. Lily Millet, widow of Frank D.
Millet, artist, claims 100000 for his
death.
No death claim is made by Mrs. John
B. Thayer of Haverford. Pa, widow OF
a vice president of the Pennsylvania
railroad. But she seeks $14,910.5O for
oss of the family's baggage. Eighteen
hats are rated at $3.50 and $50 is
claimed for a set of ivory dominoes.
silk skirts, silk stockings and three
not water bottles figure on the list.

TO MUZZLE THE PRESS.

Storey of Ada county, has introduc-
ed in the legislature of the state OF
Idaho vicious libel bill which will dc
more to kill the right of free speech
and curtail the liberty of the press
than any act within or without its
powers that could be accomplished by
the supreme court of this state.
1t leaves all the present laws on the
subject in force and in addition pro-
vides an amendment which says that
any untrue statement, spoken, printed,
or circulated by means of any writing,
signs, or pictures, which conveys a
common meaning to the effect that any
person or persons, individual or lndi-
viduals, association or associations,
corporation or corporations are guilty
of malfeasance in office, corruption or
crime, constitutes defamation. Such
defamation is classed as criminal libel,
and the penalty is fixed at fine of
from $500 to $25, 900 or Imprisonment
from one to IA years.
Just an inkling of how vicious that
proposed law is, is to be had in the fact
that it overturns that first principle of
our American liberty, that man is
presumed to be innocent until he is
proven guilty.
By its terms as outlined above man
accused of criminal libel would have to
prove that he was innocent. The COM
planning witness would not have to
prove the accused guilty.
There is clever wording concocted
no doubt as a joker by which it is stat

therefor.
Jessie Farquharson, as executor OF

asks 100000.
The heaviest claim for loss of bag
gage is that of Charlotte D. M. Car
deza, who claims, $177,352.75, This
amount is the estimated value of her
wardrobe, the items of which cover
16 closely typewriter pages. She had
IA trunks, four bags, three packing
cases, and one jewel box, which she
had given to the purser.
Her most expensive dress was a
Worth product valued at 5000. Hat
pins to the amount of $500 are listed.
There are "a pairs of gloves and 33
pairs of Shoes Other items are $500
for a lace parasol; $3.50 for lace

plants breath paradise feather, and
$1.75 for cake of soap Her jewels
were valued at $1O4,753, among them
being Burmah ruby ring worth
$4,000.
The claimant says she paid $4,000
for her passage.
Another big claim for loss of per-
sonal effects is that of H. B. Stefan
son of the Hotel Gotham, who asks
100000. He values a painting by
Blondel, La Circassienne au Bain,"
at 100000.
