j* m 2 r * A GOOD BIL t George R. Rembert's news- i paper bill is a rare curiosity, i It is ridiculous and amusing, c which shall contain obscene or profane language." Suppose the cashier of a bank I should steal all the money in iie bank and be caught and put in jail. It' this bill were law, no' newspaper, especially a small' paper, could afford to publish the facts, because it would affect the "standing in the com-! munity" of the cashier. Jf a! paper should dare to publish > the facts the thief and his law- J yers could fix up one of those : long legal documents which it i would be impossible for the: paper to publish, and if the editor did not publish it he would 1 have to pay at least $500 and also spend 30 days in jail; and. not having the $500, would have to remain in jail permanently; .jvhile the man who stole the bank would have his crime cov- ? ered up by suppressing the facts, and would go free wilhj M1 the stolen money in his pocket. > A Suppose a negro should steal a emu.?no matter how convinc- a ing the evidence, no matter if he were convicted and sent to 11 the chaingang, it would cost an ,( editor $500 and .*0) days in jail 11 to publish the facts, if the nepro should demand the puhlica- 1 tion free, in his defense, the whole speech of his long-wind- s< ed lawyer, the emancipation ' proclamation and the writings a of Booker Washington. The hill makes no distinction P between the publication of truth and untruth. t It makes no difference if e what is published is true, if it ' makes any charge, or afreets a 1 person's "standing." And the ' paper has to publish thA offend- I ed man's reply, and no matter ' what charges it. makes against % the editor or somebody else. I The only restriction is that the ' editor shall not be required to print "obscene or profane lan- ? guage." It makes no difference t about its truth or falsity. i In other words, a paper may Are You a Cold SuflVrer? Take Dr. Kind's New Discovery.

J v , There is little danger of its passage, but the serious aspect of it is that it shows the desire on the part of a certin coterie of politicians in this state to suppress the newspapers, or make of them pliant tools in the hands of politicians and' criminals. ! Read the bill and think about its provisions. It is as follows: "Section 1. That whenever a newspaper, magazine or periodical printed or published in this state shall print or publish, either in its editorial or news columns, an article written by : any editor, reporter, correspondent or any person or persons whomsoever, which article or articles shall make an attack or make any charge or charges or in any way affect the character, standing in the commu- j nitv or conduct of anv person > i i i or persona, wnerner private citizens or public officers, such r newspapers, magazines or pe- j1 riodieal shall publish in the first ^ ' edition or publication after the same shall be furnished the an- 1 swer, denial, explanation or defence of said person or persons, without making the said person or persons pay therefor; and the said answer, denial, explanation or defence shall be given the same prominence in said newspaper, magazine or periodical as the article or articles, containing said charge or' charges "Section 2 Any editor, manager or other officer or person in authority of newspaper, magazine or periodical who shall refuse or neglect or be responsible for the failure to print and publish said answer, denial, explanation or defence of said person or persons attacked or charged, as set out in .Section 1 of this act. shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to a fine of not less than $o00 and imprisonment in the county jail of not less than thirty days.
