ROOSEVELT KICKED OUT OF COURT

Judge Anderson Dismisses Libel Case Against Indianapolis News - > Owners. The criminal libel prosecution against the of the Indianapolis News, instigated last fall by a fellow by the name of Roosevelt, who used to bob around in the presidential chair like a flea in a hot skillet, in an effort to keep himself in the limelight, because of certain publications in said newspaper of and concerning the peculiar circumstances surrounding the purchase of the Panama canal from the French government, came to an inglorious end Tuesday, when Judge Anderson of the federal court at Indianapolis discharged the prisoners. The real question decided was that a newspaper publisher could not be carted off to the seat of the national government for trial for libel, but must be tried where the publication was made, which in this case was in the state of IndianaIn the course of his remarks Judge Anderson said: “I am of the opinion that the fact that certain persons were called ‘thieves’ and ‘swindlers’ does not constitute libel per se. A newspaper has a certain duty to perform. j ;j “As a former President has said. ‘lt is the duty of a newspaper to print the news and to tell the truth about it.’ It is the duty of a newspaper to draw inferences for the people.

“Now, there were many peculiar circumstances about the entire Panama Canal business, I do not wish to be understood as reflecting upon anybody in or out of office, except such person or persons as I may name. “The revolution in Panama, the circumstances concerning it, were unusual and peculiar. The people were interested in the construction of the canal. It was a matter of great public concern; a large portion of the people favored the Nicaragua route; another portion, those who were interested, favored the Panama. The question is, Did these defendants, under the circumstances, act honestly in the discharge of this duty which I have spoken of, which the law recognizes?, and were they actuated by a desire to injure the persons who are affected by their act? “If it were necessary to decide this case upon the question of privilege or lack of malice I would hesitate quite a while before I would send these people to Washington for trial. But that is not it. “To my mind that man has read the history of our institutions to very little purpose who does not put very little valuation on this. If the history of liberty means anything; if the constitution means anything, then the prosecuting authority should not have the-power to select the tribunal, if there be more than one to select from, at the capital of the nation, nor should the Government have the power to drag citizens from distant states there for trial. “The defendants will be discharged."

COLLEGEVILLE NEWS.

The first regular examinations of the year were conducted the present week. -■ Father Hartman was a sermonlzer last Sunday, and in his own gentle way he propounded to the students the true meaning of the doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven. The regular beat of the military drums has again been heard on the campus. A competitive drill, held to All the vacant offices, showed the following aspirants successful: Major, J. Nageleisenfc Adjutant and Captain Co. A., H. Berghoff; Capt. Co. B, H. Hipskind; Capt. Co. C, R. Carmody; Capt. Co. D, L. McGurren. Military drills and exercises in tactics are a part of the daily program. The officials for first term of the Junior Literary Society were elected on last Sunday. President, H. Moran; Secretary, G. Bertha; Treasurer, G. Fitzgibbons; Librarian, A. Pessefal. The membership of the society has been greatly increased. Some great things are expected of them, but so far they have given us no information when we will be delighted by their first public entertainment.

A very energetic meeting was held by the C. L. S. on Oct. 10. Hon. E. P. Honan was present and as usual he succeeded in instilling his own great enthusiasm into all the members. Nomination and acceptance speeches were there a-plenty, and some of them were such as would have done credit to most any politician. The following names were able to survive the storm of ballots: Pres., H. Bergholf; Vice Pres., C. Leary; Sec., J. Nageleisen; Treas., J. Trench; Critic, J. Mclntyre; Marsh., R. Gerken; Ex. Com., C. Peters, C. Condon, C- Burkart; Libr., L. Dufrane. On Oct. 21, the society’s anniversary, they will give their first public program of the year. They promise us a good entertainment, and from their past work we have learned to expect nothing less. , A telegram of Sunday afternoon brought us the sad news that Very Rev. Henry Drees, C. PP. S., Marla Stein, Ohio, had early in the morning happily departed from this life. His earthly sojourn reached a grand, total of fourscore years. His was a noble and great character, and all those who ever had the happiness of knhwing him will remember his name with benediction. He was one of the founders of St. Joseph’s Col-

lege, being at that time the Provincial of the Community of the Precious Blood. He was an able leader filled with energy and a devout love fpr knowledge. For years he was a member of the Board of Directors. We shall now miss his genial presence and kindly words of advice; but the monument of good deeds that his energetic soul and love of progress have left us will always be an incentive for us to strive for life’s nobler and more blessed ideals in the education oFyoung Americans, who will be an honor to their church and true citizens of our land. The funeral was held Wednesday morning at Carthagena, Ohio.

Stomach troubles would more quickly disappear if the idea of treating the cause, rather than the effect, would come into practice. A ’tiny, inside, hidden nerve, says Dr. Shoop, governs and gives strength to the stomach. A braneh also goes to the Heart, and one to the Kidneys. When these “inside nerves” fail, then the organs must falter. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is directed specifically to these failing nerves. Within 48 hours after starting the Restorative treatment patients say they realize a gain. Sold by all dealers.

LETTER FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

Enderlin, No. Dak., Oct. 11. Editor Jasper County Democrat— I wish to have the address of my paper changed from Lisbon to Enderlin, No. Dakota, R-R-1, and in addition will say to my old friends that threshing is now done here and the wheat did not yield as big near as we had figured it. The heavy rains at maturing time damaged it wonderfully. But there is lots of wheat here for all that. We sold about $3,200 worth of wheat and flax, but we didn’t clear that much. A wheat crop is an expensive crop to raise, especially on a renter, where he has to pay from 13 to 16c a bushel to get it threshed. Now a word to those that contemplate coming here to buy land: There is one company here that is working the eastern people to a finish. There are good farms here and there are poor ones. There are clean farms and there are foul ones. I mean full of wild oats and mustard that ruins a crop. It would be wise to get advice from someone that you can trust. Land is worth from S3O to $45 per acre here, while I can put them onto some for from $lB to S3O per acre. Roy and Jake have bought a section and go onto same in the spring. One w r ill find this country like all others, men sitting at their desks figuring on your crop and who will get the most of it w’hen it is raised. As to the winters here, it gets pretty cold sometimes. I have seen it to 4 2 below zero, and I drove to Lisbon, six miles, and back, and did not freeze either. But w r e don’t often have it tuat cold- Generally from 25 above to 8 below. Now I don’t boast of getting rich like some are doing, for I fear some might come out here and find me in debt like everything, as they can find others who are making a big show. But I think this country is far ahead of “Nubbin Ridge,” and to those wishing information in re§®rd 1° it. if they will write me I will tell them truthfully as I see things here. Respectfully yours, HENRY SNOW.
