Newspapers and Libel IT HAS LONG BEEN the law that an author or I publisher hears full liability for what he writes or publishes, regardless of his intentions or his innocence. This is only another way of saying what Chief Justice Mansfield said in England 150 years ago in much better language, that "Whatever 1 a man publishes, he publishes at his peril." The result has been that just as long as there have been newspapers, published there have been libel suits brought; and. all that has changed is the increasing number and complexity of the actions launched and the claims made. The risk of libel actions is the nsK mat every puoiisner must assume, it is no more possible to operate transportation in these days of heavy traffic without expecting to defend many negligence actions than it is possible to publish a newspaper without offending, if not damaging, "fnany people. Indeed, the.pnly surprising feature is that more libel suits are npt launched, when one thinksj)f the hundreds o'f assertions of fact and expressions of opinion contained in every edition of a newspaier. Human frailty beinj&ivhat it is. mis takes ar inevitable and; GOOD OLD TIMES! WHO CAN HAVE ANY PATIENCE with the expression "the good old times?" Try and anal-:: yze them. Heaven knows, there is trouble .,; enough today, but what man would, jf he could, ; turn back the clock ? There is widened knowledge, if widened obligations and responsibilities. But welcome them? Take Labor, for example ! So far as that goes, everybody works for a Jiving. There is no comparison between the position of the average individual today and what it was only a few generations ago. Get a strangle Jiqld or) the feal causes of world wars and life will indeed be worth the living! ALBERNl HARP HIT THE THRIVING PORT OF ALBERNl, with what I' was possibly her chief industrial asset in ashes and chances of immediate re-establishment j; decidedly uncertain, must be feeling the way Prince j; Rupert would look at her situation, should the bot-; torn suddenly fall out of the fisheries and great enterprises, now being established and destined to i, provide work and wages at all seasons, be perman-; ently cancelled. LESS RAIN TALK ; THE PRINCE RUPERT RAIN legend is gradu-; I ally becoming outworn. Once Portland was i z, kiiflwn as the "webfoot city." There used to be ; 'JZ a time when the Seattle Times, for many a long ! Zt year, ran a front page cartoon recording the say-1 1,; gs of "The Umbrella Man." Vancouver of course, ; a too dignified to even hint at anything not quite . - perfection. But it does seem, as time wags on, that ! more people in Prince Rupert are discussing the cglanese plant, local developments, and the Jones Bill -than are those whose conversation rarely ,;; ranges beyond precipitation. : NEWSPAPERS FOLD UP :; THE . SEATTLE STAR folded up a week or so I ago. Rising costs, and an awkward newsprint ; ' situation were given as the main reasons. And now, another daily, in the field for 61 years, and published in Brooklyn will be seen no mqre, with (" practically the same explanation. The newspaper business is no cinch. HIGHWAY BECOMES KNOWN ANOTHER YEAR, and few will have any excuse for being unaware of the existence of a good .motor highway into Prince Rupert from any place in North America. People who make the trip themselves are the best of advertisers. Here an,d there may be a few who offer pome criticism but, as rule, it is helpful and in the long run, beneficial. The great objective is to Jet about 150 million people know there is a highway without any "ifs" or "buts." "Apprenticeship Inspector Coming The local Employment Advisory Committee has been advised that E. A. Ivay, inspector 'of apprenticeship In the Ap-.prentlceshlp Branch of the Provincial Department .of Labor. will visit Prince Rupert for sev eral days.

TRIBUTE TO DAN SC1IEKK Editor, Dally News: I was interested to read in your paper on Saturday alxmt the kindly nelghtoorliness in the pioneer days pf our good old friend, Daniel Scherk, now deceased. I was the man who Mr. Scherk invited to take water from his house instead of trudging down the pipe line with my palls. That was a good many years ago now but I still well remember Mr. Scherk coming to my house, which was without water, inquiring my name and telling me he was a neighbor and I was welcome to go to nis house and get water. I went to their house but nobody was home so I did not go in. On my way home from the pljre line I met Mr. and Mrs. Scherk and they told me to go right in and help myself to water whether there was anyope home or not. Years later when I was in hoapltal for four months following a strcke, he never missed a single Sunday In coming to see me. Always, kind and pleasant in his doings, Mr. jScherk will long, be fondly remembered by his many old friends. FIRED OLSEN, LEONARD CAMPBELL PLEA Editor, Daily News: ' This Is only a plea for Leon- ard Carrtfrjbell, the little boy stricken with creenlne naraJV- sls.

Now he kws rvt walk, but can stand on his feet. Is that not proof he is improving? Now he is being .sent home. Where is pur Humane Society? That boy is the eldest of , a family of five. His mother is definitely not well. They Jive in the country wjth no modern conveniences no bathroom or other facilities. This boy has to be lilit-d In hf1 nnrt r,iit In 4K bath and out.

This little boy's father Davs taxes gtc. like anyone else. Why isn't his child entitled to a chance to live? They have homes for children like him I'm sure. We also have a Social Assistance Board maintained. by the government. Why can't they put that boy in a hospital or a home with prcper facilities to care for him. Come along all you mothers and fathers of Prince Rupert and district, let's get behind Mrs. Richardson and Tommy Smith and fight witjh them, not against them, to Iprce the gpv- MUSIC IN CITY Editor, Daily News: ! The value cf music in the life of the human race Is of such prime importance, I feel that every encouragement should bo given to these musicians who give their time willingly to fill that classification which has been, conspicuous in the past by Its absence. I refer to our band and orchestra, each of which gave delightful concerts last spring whlth were enjoyed by those who attended. Might I, therefore, suggest that the various service clubs give a generous donation to these musical organizations sq they can acquire a library, or shall I say variety of music and new instruments when found necessary. You will remember the plea3 ure we derived by the playing of our boys' band. The boys were very enthusiatslc. Because of Inertia on the part of one service organization, which obligated Itself to foster, encourage and supervise their woTk and actions it deteriorated and passed into oblivion. To prevent, a recurrence of this, situation, I would suggest that the city should give the band $100 for service already rendered and to help out in the future (I have been Informed that one of our aldermen suggested $5, don blush Mr. Editor, I am struggling with great difficulty not to). Also I am certain if you would editorially point out the value of music to any city It would be of great value and might I solicit the moral and financial support cf all citizens, by attending any concerts given. I will finish this rambling comnosition by giving an extract from an author who lived in the naughty nineties. "Music, once admitted to the soul, beepmes a spirit that never dies. Tt wanders perturbly through the halls and'galleries or memory and is often hear.; again, distinct and living, as when it first displaced the wavelets of the air. now -as then these rhantoms c pound float back upon our fancies." Thanking you in anticipation. J. (i. STEEN." ernment to put this boy In a proper Institution where he can have good care and treatments and a chance to live happily. Dont forget It could be your chad or nine and not Just someone else's! We can contribute large sums to help the children in foreign countries etc. How about the old saying: "Charity begins at home" and help our own heme kiddles to a better way of life.

He said Canadian labor had a grandstand seat to watch what was going on in the United States the demands for higher wages all the time, and the higher wages bringing higher costs and demands for still higher wages. He said Canadian ' j- I labor should take the L -J lesson to heart, and in- rsjirpi sieaaoiasmngiornignej rWjljL wages, get busy, stay at yaf work, produce an ab I unuancc oi unrigs ana " so bring prices down that they would get an increase in real wages instead of bigger pay envelopes that were phony because they wouldn't buy as much. "It made sense to me then, when I told you about it. It seemed intelligent labor leadership. "Now it's midsummer, and Canadian labor has stayed pretty well on the job, and things are more abundant, and most prices are coming down. I know there are some going up too, when the government controls and subsidies are taken away. That enables lower taxes. And you can see every day, in the ads, how prices are coming down because supplies are more abundant. "Yet I see signs that some labor leaders had better think back to what that auto workers' union leader told them at New Year's. It's still worth thinking about."
