Editorial Comment


False information to Newspapers.
Portland Presa)
We hope that the Biddeford journal
will have to pay the reward Of so 1t has
offered for information which win serve
to identity the man Who has been try
ing to give false information to that
newspaper.
OF course we don't mean by that that
we are wishing any extra expenses onto
the Journal but merely that We would
like to see the offender brought to JUS
tice
It Is a criminal offense to seek to Sc
cure the publication Of false information
IN a newspaper and If an example were
made Of a case or two Of this sort 1t
would go a long way toward discourage
ing one Of the meanest tricks anyone
can engage in.
There are two classes Of people who
give false news to newspapers One is
the brainless Anticipated sort who some
how have got It into their heads that 1t
Is a kind OF joke and the other includes
those who do it maiciously. with a
view to injuring some person or the
paper.
4Ne AoTNlet are u oe ulieo tAe SAME
as any fool IS to be pitied. although
even fools need to be taught lesson.
but as to the latter, theresls nothing too
bad that can be said about them.
All papers have their experiences with
these people and some OF these expert
ences prove expensive. This is bad, but
it is even worse in the minds OF most
publishers for a newspaper to hold any
one up to ridicule or to do anything,
even unwittingly, to publish anything to
do an injury, whether it costs the paper
anything or not
Not very long ago 1t cost one OF these
iokers who had been giving false in
formation to the Press and one other
Portland paper rather dear for his So
called fun and the joker was glad to get
out of it as cheaply as he did. at that.

The States Rights Pretense.

The Congressional committee Of the
Na,iona! American Woman Suffrage
Associa ton has given out statement
analyzing the House vote on woman
suffrage last Tuesday with reference
to the states rights issue involved.
The suffrage resolution. says the
statement. like the Hobson resolution
for national probibitation which was
voted uponDecember %. proposed an
amendment TO the Federal Const!tu-
ton. and the chief argument OF the
opposition in each case was that the
amendment violated state sovereignty.
The committee therefore watched with
especial interest the course OF those
rnenbers Of Congress. who, within
three short weeks, were found facing
both ways on the states rights ques-
ton.
o. the -. votes against the woman
suffrage resolution, - were cast by
members who had voted for the ma

= members, 63 were Democrats. OF
these 63 Democrats, IS were from the
South-the very citadel ot states rights.
Some Of these latter. speaking IN favor
q the prohibition amendment, had
argued the states rights doctrine
practically or O. existence.
States rights IS the most conven-
.ent dodge corner known to the modern
politician When they are hard pressed
by public insistence upon honest an
swe-s. they slip into the states rights
refuge ard shuttle back and forth.
President Wilson first CURLY lodged
on the plea that he was not author
.ze by rs party platform 70 express
his eminent views On equal suffrage.
But at last he was driven into the
states rights dodge corner, and d!dn' I
even dare come out in his Jackson
Day address.
by many Of those without spine on
the prohibition question, while others
argued the states rights doctrine out
Of existence" oa that question. Bu.
the funny part Of the exhibition Icy
in the fact that they turned around
and lodged into the corner again on
equal suffrage.
The childish argument that i IS
an outrage o. the rights Of states for
the national law making body to eX-
ercisc Us Constitutional function Of
aho-ding TO the states an opportunity
10 determine whether or not they VIII
amend the law. prov okes the indigna-
lion Of honest. thinhlEg people. Il Is
8 dodge. pure and Simple. ard worthy
only OF cheap ward politicians. The
people Of the various states are asking
20 more OF Congress than clearing OF
the way for them 10 act il an orderly,
legal way. And the r.ght IS denied
them by pitiful sutterferge, because
Of the political power Of great COM
uercial interests.
The cry Of rum revenue no longer
suf:ces as an answer, 50 delay IS
secured through states rights pre-
tense, while the interests pile up
more millions ana wreck another
generation. But the day is coming
when towards in Official life and their
guilty owners cannot withhold the
peoples viii.
National prohibition OF the liquors
and drugs traffic. and equal suffrage
Tor intelligent citizens are coming,
just as sure as IS Gods wrath being
felt by guilty nations.
