Were such a bill ns the one that Mr. Taft vetoed in effect during the past ten years the great mills that dot this region would have been impossible.

The more immigrants that we can secure here the better for us and we now have admirable facilities, especially educational ones, for bringing the ignorant to the paths of opportunity. President Taft's veto has smothered some very unwise legislation that would have been felt here possibly more than in any other part of this country and we have to commend the chief executive on his wise course.

The question is:
What are the rights, limitations
and duties of the papers in attacking
public officials?
So far as judges and legal decisions are concerned, it would seem that the papers should go slow in insinuating improper motives and in bitter, vituperative assaults. No matter whether judges or decisions, or both, are to be recalled, the courts
should have a greater measure of protection than other public depart

Gary lead him from home to church

Barnett of Hammond at his trial
that he had to overcome ennui caused by the preacher's sermon and was

There is quite a moral to Andrew's

Only some of us cannot overcome

.. DUTY OF THE NEWSPAPERS.
Various significant instances have
occurred of late in which public officials have bitterly denounced the lewspapers for attacking them In
heir official capacity.
A court held two Montana news
paper men, one an editor and the
ither a stockholder In a paper, guilty )t contempt for assailing a decision of the court. The judges were of the
opinion that the paper had overstep
ped its legal limitations.
A judge in Missouri pronounced
William R. Nelson, publisher of the
Kansas City Star, guilty of contempt In accusing judges of improperly de
ciding a case where an attorney was
alleged to have been awarded too
much In counsel fees.
Mayor Gaynor of New York city Is
quoted variously as describing cer
tain editors as scamps and scalawags
Kis honor the mayor terms one editor
a liar and another a scoundrel. One
metropolitan paper he puts down a
"filthy and indecent."
Other public officers (not judges)
in different sections of the country
kave of late been using irate terms In
slation to local papers.
The situation brings to the fore ttain a question that has long been
of deep concern to the papers and th
public.
YE DYSPEPTIC SCRIBE. We clip this from the Four Corners
and legislators are honest, able or correspondence to the Jasper County
diligent. It is clearly tne duty AND Democrat
THE RIGHT of the press to criticise
them adversely whenever occasion de
mands it.
Public property is too often priv
ate prey.
The papers are the searchlight that
shows to the people, who are too fre
quently in the dark, just what is go
ing on In the high places, how it is
being done and why..
Dim that searchlight and some
thing will go a-wreck. Thousands of
public officials have been indicted,
tried and convicted through the ex
posures made by newspapers. Thous
ands have been driven from office or
kept out of power. Many have been
driven to suicide rather than face
trial, and others have fled to foreign
lands or, adopting assumed names,
removed to other states.
Counties, states and cities have
been cleaned up by fearless news
papers. Clearly their right to criti
cise and condemn should be extended
and not restricted in regard to exe
cutive and legislative officers. The
freedom of the press in this respect
in the United States is one of the
preservatives of the nation. While
regulation and control of the papers
seem to be the order of the day in
congress and in many states as well.
it is to be hoped that this policy will
not beextended beyond its present
scope. The American Press.
"We note the names of the members of the Booster Club, which were published for our benefit, class a number of them as our friends, and would no nothing to intentionally sever the tie of friendship that may now or hereafter exist, nor commit a. singe act that would injure their business. But we continue to hold to the same view, and that Is, that the Wheatfleld Booster Club, with the names it has on its list, made a fatal mistake in not selecting a man to blow the big horn and lead the parade who has made, a siccess at something; who has some business ability; one to whom in after years you could point to with pride as the man who lead the Wheatfield Booster Club to success and redeemed the north end; a man whose

(Laury Jean Libbey in the Chicago

that they were better apart when lo. a little child makes Its appearance In the household. IF some people we know, who claim
that they can sing, will have, a place in the heavenly choir we want to take our wings and harp and seek some quiet shady spot, far from the din and noise.
