PUBLIC OPINION
Editor Evening News :
Please allow me space in your val
uable paper for a few remarks:
Yesterday I was presented with a
stamp book from the Red Star Com
pany. What do the merchants of
Perth Amboy want with stamps [any
way ? They are not wanted here. I
am, and plenty with me, of the opin
ion that our leading merohants, such
as Reynolds & Hanson, Blue Front,
Boston Store, Mr. KreielBheimer and
more, do not need such an advertise
ment. We have our newspapers and
that is the best way to let people
know what they have to offer, and
then, stamps or no stamps, they are
sure to come to the stores that can be
depended upon. You may go yourself
or yon may send a child to any of
these stores and you can be sure to be
attended to just right. If peoDle
would stop to consider they would
know that they don't get the stamps
for nothing. The Stamp Company
has got to live. The merchants have
to pay for the stamps and accordingly
they must get it out of the people
some way. Are the people of Perth
Amboy so poor that they shall be de
pendent on, and gather together a few
stamps to get a piece of furniture or
so. I don't believe so and I believe,
if.'we only knew it, that the premiums
we get are well paid for.
I will say that I don't want to deal
with a merchant wh<J keeps the stamps
and I wish that it oould be stopped
altogether.
I am very respectfully yours,
AN ANTI-STAMP CITIZEN.
Editor Evening News:
Kindly permit me space in your
valuable columns to bring to the
attention of the careless public a
matter in which all honest people are
interested. Lot owners in Alpine
cemetery have been greatly annoyed
by persons who seem to make a prac
tice of watching people who place
flowers upon the graves of their dead,
and as soon as they can get the oppor
tunity, without being detected, will
steal those flowers and either place
them on* other graves, or remove them
from the oemetery entirely. Arrests
have been made, where the parties
have been caught, and "the practice
was stopped for a short time, but
others have taken it up. I desire now
to make it publicly known that all
persons who may be caught in this
sneaking, thieving practice, will be
punished to the extreme extent of the
law, and (V sunp that all lot own |
- -erf i Aid detection of such
persons.
Yours.

A STRICT LIBEL LAW
Governor Pennypacker Signs
Grady- Sal us BilL
OPPOSED BY PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
He Clntmw Mea.nre Will Not Harm
Reputable Sewnpapern? Aimed
at HecUleii* Journal
ism Only.
HARRISBURG, Fa., May 13.-Gov
ernor Pennypacker has approved the
Grady-Salus libel bill and at the same
time issued a long statement gii > ing e
reason* for his action. The (MIL which
was in the governor's hands for
ti,an a month, goes into effect imme
diately and repeals all laws or parts of
laws inconsistent with the new "ct.
The governor claims there is nothing
in the terms of the measures which
prevents any newspapers from making
such comments upon legislative meas
ures or upon the official acts of state,
municipal, county or pubUc offlcers a
are proper for the information of the
public or are in the line of legitimate
public discussion.
Continuing, he says: "The bill 1 in i
npplicaton is not confined to officials,
but affects as well the citizen or busi
ness man, whose conduct const tutes no
part of the right of the pubUc to in
formation. The corporation officer who
has been falsely charged with crime,
the manufacturer who has been false
ly accused of being a drunken brawler,
the woman whose domestic gnefs have
been unfeelingly paraded or whose
chastity is improperly suspected, the
student who has been falsely accused
of murder, the clergyman who has
bo*n cruelly maligned, the quiet citi
zen whose peace of mind has been de
stroyed by the publication of evil gos
sip the merchant -.hose credit has
been affected by groundless rumors
and the sufferers from reckless but not
necessarily malicious publications are
given the right not t? prohibit Publica
tion, but to recover the damages which
they have sustained provided they
prove negligence or lack of care on the
part of the publishing newspapers. All
of these are instances of what has in
fact recently occurred.
"Within the last quarter of a century
two presidents of the United States
have been murdered, and 111 each in
stance the cause was easily traceable to
inflammatory and careless newspaper
utterance. Crimes are widely propa
cated not by the malice, but by the
recklessness of the press, and in cer
tain classes of cases, among them mur
der the accused are at times convicted
or acquitted before they reach the court
room." t . .
The governcfr concludes his statement
as follows: "The proposed legislation
has been regarded by a large propor
tion of the reputable press with great
misgivings. It is natural that this
should be the case. The future is ever
uncertain, and the easy way to avoid
the dangers ahead is to stand still.
This is nevertheless not a wise course.
The boy conscious of many lapses who
is invited by a stern father into a pri
vate room enters with a dread, and yet
the purpose may only be to arrange for
the coming holidays. W hen the gar
dener comes with his hoe into the gar
den which has been left to run wild it
is safe to say that it is the mullein and
not the pea which is likely to suffer.
This bill may not be the best possible
legislation, but the purpose is com
mendable, and should experience show
it to be defective something better may
be devised. It ought to be cordially
and cheerfully accepted by the reputa
ble press, for they have a special inter
est in it becoming a law. Where the
tares occupy the ground the wheat per
ishes. It threatens tliem with no dan
ger Seeking to utter the truth and not
the falsehood, what have they to fear?
"Into our courts, where learned
judges administer the law with fidelity
and juries are drawn from the masses
of the people, well fitted to determine
who is the wrongdoer, they are not
likely to be summoned or if summoned
they may go with entire safety. This
much is certain: Since the laws of God
and nature are immutable and inexe
crable, unless means are found to up
root some of the tendencies of modern
journalism the influence, already badly
shaken, will be utterly lost, and the in
fluence of the press, which has been so
potent an agent in the development of
civilization and in securing civil lib
erty. will be gone forever.
?'With a serious sense that the evil is
of more than ordinary moment, with
full knowledge of the importance of the
press and of its value to mankind
through all past struggles and with the
hope and belief that the greater care
and larger measures of responsibility
brought about by this law, tending to
elevate the meritorious and repress the
unworthy, will promote its welfare
while benefiting the community, I ap
prove the ro^L"

BICYCLE ACCIDENT
AT PLEASANT PLAINS.
Charles Peterson and Alexander
Cole Ran into Bank and one was
Seriously Injured.
A serious bicvole accident happened
at Pleasant Plains last night when
Charles Peterson and Alexander Cole,
who were riding a tandem Home from
work at the S. S. White Dental Works,
were thrown headfirst into a bank be
side the Willow bridge. Peterson is
said to have ruptured a blood vessel
leading to the left lnng and was ser
iously braised. He will be laid np
for about four weeks. Cole escaped
with a severe cut on the forehead and
a general shaking up.
According to the story told, another
tandem tried to pass Peterson and
Cole and the latter spurted. Just as
they reached a bridge a boy started
diagonally across. To avoid a colli
sion with him the tandem turned
quickly, then in order to avoid rnn
ing into the side of the bridge, made
another quick turn, but this was too
much and they crashed into the bank
just after crossing. They jumped
their front wheel and the front fork
was broken. The riders were taken
in a stage to Dr. Coleman's office.
