Ohio has at last taken the lead among American States in lifting the law of libel out of the barbarism in which it has bcen plunged for oenturies so that newspapers may mot be harried with malicious dam. Age suits for unintended inaccur. acies of statement which they quick ly correct upon notice. The Ohio law is so obviously fair that other States should ddopt it, even though the damage suit industry suffer in gonsequence. In speaking of this law a contemporary says: ‘“The new Ohio law provides that when a statement that injures an- other has been published, the ob- jector may prepare a counter state- ment to the truth of which he makes affidavit: when this correction, at- tested under oath, has been present- ed, thenewspaper must publish it within a reasonable time—two days of grace being allowed a daily, a week for a weeklyetc. Equal prominence, with like space .and headlines, must be given the cor- rection that was accorded the ob- jectionable article and no gharge ean be made—after this the debate may continue while the readers be- come the jury duly qualified to exe- cute judgment on one party or the other. Refusal or failure to pub- lish thecorrection properly present. od may be punished by fine and im- prisonment as may 'the proof that theoffending article was . published with the knowledge that it was false or in bad faith or with malevojent intent, i ‘ l- The Esterio Eagle has the follow. ing kindly and warmly. appreciated reference to the Telegram and the mew home in which it will be housed a few months hence: ““Editor Hetherington of the Lake. land Evening Telegram and the . Lakeland News, announces that he will in the near future begin the erection of a new home for his ex- oellent publications. A picture of the proposed building, taken from the architect’s plans, is published fn the last issue of the.News, and shows a very handsome two-story * and basement structure, more like a dank than a rrinting office in ap- pearance, which would be an orna. ment to any city in Florida. Eight years ago the Lakeland News was purchased by Mr. Hetherington for $1,600, and since that time its growth under his able management has been almost phenomenal, being one of themost noteworthy instances of journalistic success from small beginnings in the State of ‘Florida. We wish for him a continuous round of well merited prosperity.” ——— e The St. Cloud Tribune elaborately argues that <Confederate veterans are not eniitled to pensions from the federal government. Oh, what’s the use? Nobody has seriously con- tended that they were, and a couple of Southern Congressmen were mere- iy talking for buncombe when they said something on the subject.
