SCKANTON, PCHHUAllY 14. 1S01.
Numerous cnthuslastlr Pittsburg
municipal politicians have become
convinced that Scranton Ih nctually
entitled to n place on the map of I'unn
nylvonla after ull.
The Common Sense Course.
Till: lUPPnn clause In the
new charter bill Is objec
tionable to many In the pre
cedent which It establishes
nnrt In the uplrlt of retaliation which
Is Its frankly avowed motive. Matters
of legislation affecting lnrt;e public In
terests should not bo considered In the
light or temper of personal or fac
tional reprisal; they should , It is al
most superfluous to say, bo approached
Judicially find with a desire to pro
mote the greatest good of the gteatest
number. Those who oppose honestly,
from conviction, the punitive disposi
tion now manifested stand on solid
ground and will be respected oven by
the ripper' hottest ndvocates after
the latter shall have cooled off.
Hut the ripper part Is by no means
tho main putt of the second class city
charter problem. It Is the temporary
and human part; the part that repre
sents the clashing of factional ambi
tions and bias and makes picturesque
reading In the newspapers; but It Is
not the part that as the years shall
come and go will remain without
change, either to facilitate or hinder
the working-out of good results in
municipal government. After the rip
per shall have ripped and led to rip
ping in return, as may easily happen
in tho vlcissltudinous course of poll
tics, the charter Itself will abide, and
it Is to that. In its larger and more
lasting relations, rather than to the
momentary factional aspects of the sit
uation, "that public opinion may very
properly direct Itself.
It can easily be seen that a ripper
bill with some kind of charter attached
will pass and become law. This was
foietold by us weeks ago. Could fcrnn
ton have defeated the ripper and yet
dictated and saved the chatter it would
have been well. Hut since the tipper
Is not defeatable with the votes in
hand, very plainly the nest best thing
is, by accepting the Inevitable grace
fully, to get tile charter part as nearly
conformable ns possible to Scranton's
permanent municipal needs. This, we
take it, Is what Congressman Council
and the other representatives and
friends of Hcranton who have been
active at Harrlsburg hae done. It Is
a line of endeavor In strict conformity
with practical common sense and the
fruits of it will be that Scranton will
get a charter far better suited to her
needs than would have been possible
had a position been taken of futile an
tagonibin tow aid the powers that be.
It now appeals that tho success of
present negotiations on the part of the
foreign leprescntattves at PiMn will
depend very much upon whether vntl
nus Iceroys and generals respond to
the polite Invitations to commit sui
cide. Excise Commissioners.
IX THi: opinion of the Lancaster
.New i:r.i, "wlille the work of
passing upon the various appli
cations for license and regulat
ing the liquor tialllc may be unpleas
nnt and burdensome to the Judges
there Is no place where the tesponsl
blllty can lie teposed with as much
confidence and satisfaction to the mass
of the people. The court can geneially
pretty accurately guage the nentl
ments of the vatlous communities In
terested In pending license applica
tions, ond If they fall Into error the
fault geneially lies with those good
citizens who are fiee with their criti
cisms In their limited circle but who
lack the public spirit or moral cour
age to endeavor to substantiate their
accusations In opcn.court. To transfer
the responsibility of granting licenses
Into lay hands, who would not bo dl
icctly responsible to the people, would
be a teniblu blunder."
The ability of "lay hands" to ad
minister wisely the responsibility of
granting licenses may be underesti
mated. In small counties with rural
population predominating the problem
rests lightly upon tho bench, as It
would upon laymen. Hut In counties
like Schuylkill, Luzerne and Lacka
wanna the task of supervising tho
liquor trallle, both In tho matter of
Awarding or rejecting license applica
tions and In the running down of speak
easies ond other exclso violations Is
not,pnlyncoinputible with the Judicial
ofllcornioro closely representing a po
llcofunctlon, but Is of sufliclcnt magni
tude and Intricacy to keep a distinct
department of government busy
throughout tho year. Kxclso comtnls
. nloners, cither nppolntlvo or elective,
would constitute nn experiment at least
worthy of fair trial.
m
The newest nppllcatlpn of thft.ghel
don theory comes -from Marlon, Ind,,'
where a grocer Is conducting his store
" Christ would run It." He sells
strictly for cnsli, tlleplayfl tlio cost
mark on every nrtlcle, declines to sell
tobacco or liquor In any form, and for
tlio benefit of the poor lin a depart
ment where all food articles are re
tailed at cost. Leaving out of consid
eration the question an to how this
Kroccr Is Informed concerning Christ's
method of doing business, his plan Is
not without merit. Its cotnmerclnl
value, however, remains to be seen.
Conservntlvp Cubans appear to be of
tho opinion that the present political
leaders on the Island would put on too
much Btcnm If allowed to Ket entire
control of tho government. Yet they
are too cowardly to whistle for down
brakes.
The iTCInln Libel BUI.
AFTnit A good deal of thrash
ing about, the leglslnturo
has apparently made up IH
mind to take n sensible po
sition upon the subject of libel re
form. The bill Introduced by Ilcpre- '
sotitntlve McClaln Is conservative, Ju
dicious and necessary. It differs front
the net of 1S97 In giving to the Jury
the question of deciding whether tho
publication relating to the olliclal con
duet of public of'lccrs Is proper for
public Information. It provides that
In nil criminal prosecutions the truth
may bo given In evidence to tho Jury,
and this Is the essence of fairness.
This provision of th; MtCInin bill
safeguards every right of free criti
cism of men who are properly liofor-s
tho public for review, but It limits
that criticism to actions, 1 and conduct
1 elating directly to their olliclal po
sltlfin and outlaws tho fetid mass of
personal scandal atid detraction which
li yellow Journalism's principal stock
In trade.
In pet mining the Jury lather than '
the Judge to determine what Is propr
for public Information, the McClaln
bill nssiim? that twelve men drawn
from the people and after a brief ser
vice going back to the people consti
tute n safer tilbunal, nml one mora
liable to rctlect an average of publl-
opinion, than a Judge upon the bench,
and this pilnclplc is in nccord with
ftir theory of government, which resls
flatly upon popular rule. It Is a saf i
guard rather than a menace to honest
journalism, Inasmuch as it submits
the determination of privilege to men
lepiftsentatlvo of the common people,
who will readily detect the difference
between fair criticism for nn hone.it
public purpose and the malice which
manufactures or exaggerates.
In reference to civil actions the Mc
Claln bill accepts the plea of Justifica
tion as an adequate and complete de
fense when It is contended and proved,
to the satisfaction of tho court and
Jury that the publication Is substan
tially true and Is proper for public
Information and has not been mali
ciously or negligently made. It also
provides that in civil actions no dam
ages shall bo recovered unless It Is
established to the satisfaction of the
court and jury that the publication J
has been maliciously or negligently
made. Thus far It follows In the foot
steps of the act of "97, but it adds that
where malice and negligence appear
.such punitive damages may be award
ed ns the court and Jury shall deem
proper. Here Is a double safeguard.
Tho private citizen who, by the negli
gence of a newspaper. Is put in a fuNu
light before the community and sub
jected to Injury receives the oppor
tunity of securing redress mid the
negligence of the publisher Is made
liable for exemplary discipline when
the court and Jury In conjunction agree
that punishment in damages is Just.
A Jury carried to an excess of sympa
thy may leturn a verdict out of fair
proportion to the offense, and It Is
void unless approved by tho court. In
Ptactlcal operation the court In civil
nctlons will stand as a barrier against
excesses in the Jury room, and tho
giving of this discretionary power to
the judge when It is withheld from
him In criminal actions squares with
the theory of our jurisprudence, which
more and more tends to place tho de
cision as to crime in the Jury, and the
limitation of damages In the court.
It Is true that under judicial Instruc
tion the character of matter proper for
I public Information becomes gradually
I defined, and editors have something to
guide them. It Is likewise true that a
Jury Is an uncertain quantity. Yet ex
perience has full demonstrated that In
the long run the jury presents certain
ly as fair an approximation to substan
tial Justlco as Is to be found In the
moie learned and technical Judgments
of the couit. The publisher who Is of
good repute and accounted honest In
his relations with the public has little
occasion to fenr that a jury of his fel
low citizens, fairly drawn and repre
sentative of the common sense of his
community, will hold him to unfair ac
count for a publication dictated by nn
honest motive and put forth for the
public good.
On tho contrary, where the editor Is
a dishonest man full of vlndlctlveness
and malice, and bonding his acute In
telligence to tho venting of personal
or factional animosities so as lust to
escape the border-line which under a
stilct construction of the present law
constitutes criminal libel, tho knowl
edge that a Jury rather than n Judge
holds the power of decision will oper
ate as a public protection and ns a
wholesome restraint. The most vicious
citizen today is not tho ctlmlnal who
blunders awkwardly In tho sodden
depths of crime, but the keen and
clever rascal who violates tho spirit of
tho law by reason of his dexterity In
dodging Its letter. This kind of rascal,
If engaged In Journalism, will have
good reason to fear tho common sense
of the average Jury, which Is less In
clined to stickle for the letter of the
law than It Is to administer substantial
Justice,
It Is a great mistake for newspaper
publishers to seek special exemptions.
Their Interests lie rather In discour
aging by all means within their power
the abuse of Journalistic functions
which has In recent years sprung up
In our largo cities and covered with
odium an honorable and useful profession.-
Every reputable newspaper
man stands to gain by tho rooting out
of tho tricksters and knaves of yellow
Journalism. Their elimination Is not
only necessary for the publlo welfare,
but It Is doubly necessary for the self
protection of the newspaper business.
At the present rate of deterioration
that business would be ruined entirely
In ten years. The law which will draw
a halter around tho necks of tho men
dacious promoters of Journalistic li
centiousness and clear tho way for a
renewed growth of reputable news
paper methods Is of Infinitely greater
value to tho decent man engaged In
newspaper production than It can pos
sibly be to tho Individual citizen who
Is simply looking for a means of
shielding himself and his family
against wanton or negligent attnek.
No law will stand In this free age
which abridges tho proper functions of
Journalism, but It Is high time that
Journalistic license and liberty should
be differentiated.
from conservative Massachusetts
comes the announcement that nn at
tempt Is to be made to have the pres
ent legislature enact a bill providing
that whoever, not being registered,
shall advertise or hold himself out to
the public as a healer of diseases or
nble to abolish diseases or the symp
toms of disease, or Is competent to do
surgery, or shall In any way treat or
prescribe for the sick or Injured for
gain, tdiult be punished by a line nnd
Imprisonment. Similar measures are
under consideration In at least three
other states, and throughout the coun
try there Is a strong sentiment In favor
of attempting to outlaw forms of char
lantry such as frequently come to light
In connection with the spread of Chi Is
tlan Science. To what extent the law
can be depended upon to safeguard the
credulous Is a debatable question, but
the operation of some such enactment
as Is proposed In Massachusetts would
be studied with widespread Interest
und undoubtedly have educational
value.
One thousand miles or so northwest
from Stlka, above tho Arctic circle, lies
a portion of Alaska with an area as
large as New England, New York and
Pennsylvania combined. It Is practi
cally an unknown wilderness Into
which but few white men have ever
penetrated, and concerning which there
Is hardly any authoritative Informa
tion. Into this great unknown region
the United States geological survey Is
planning to send a scientific exploring
party with Instructions to sub-dlvlde
nnd make a thorough study of the
natural resources and forms of vege
table and animal life. Persons looking
for adventure will await with Interest
the results of this Investigation In the
hope that It will open up new avenues
for the exercise of pioneer courage and
hardihood.

TMIKHK W'S a pedagogue in ,1 ichool In Pe
al troit forty or more jears ago bj- the name
of -well, never mind his name. The old gentle
man is living here jet. So arc many of his for
mer pupils. There was a lime when the bojs
of the nehool were Infatuated with the game of
juk-straws, and the quiet of the ichool room
came to be disturbed at times bj- the dropping
out upon the floor of the varied iliajied pieces
of lion that did kcivIco as Jacks. Finally the
edict went forth tint no more jaiks should be
brought into the room.
The mandate was well enough obejed for a
time, but one day a boy who has since grown to
manhood and commercial prominence In the City
of the .Straits neglected to leave his precious
jacks In the outdoor cache he had provided for
tin- purpose. As the little fellow arose to march
with his class to the recitation bench one of the
Jacks rolled out upon the lloor, Betting all tho
pupils aglggllng. Proceeding on his cmlnr
lasscd way the remaining pieces rattled in his
pocket loud enough to attract the master's dread
ful attention.
"Hobert," he thundered, as Ids cold, gray
ej'cs, overlooking his spectacles, glowered clown
1 upon the lad. "Hobert, have jou elaied to bring
Jacks Into the school room?"
"X-n-n-no," faintly whispered Hobert In re
sponse. "WI1.1t then, sir, is that noise I hear In j'our
pockets?"
"W-w-w-wh)'," filtered the frightened boj at
his wits' end for an excuse to ctcape the dreaded
rod. "Ww-w-vv-why n-n-notliln', ilr. It's only
1 t-t-tvvo p-p-pln heads rattlln' t-t-t-togcther."
The nbsurdity of the answer brought the boy
I immunity from punishment, but the master took
