SEWARD, ALASKA. JULY 11, 1914
1 iii; \KWei of the deportation of a pre*s correspondent from Mexico and j
the arrest of an editor, as told in today's dispatches, brings up once more
the question of the freedom of the press. The J
THE FREEDOM OF correspondent wrote lies about the enforcement
THF DRESS of the regulations made by the Lnited States
military authorities and the editor ot the Sunset |
magazine is charged with divulging the secrets about the fortifications on j
the Panama canal.
Now. the latter, if h* is guilt> at all. is guilty of nothing less than treason, j
and the former, if he is guilty, probably was very seriously hampering the J
work of the United States army by giving out a false impression of the j
efforts to bring about order in the occupied city of \ era ( ruz.
A> to whether the men are guilty or not it is too early to speak hut if j
tht y have committed the acts complained of they cannot hope for sympathy j
on the ground that the freedom of the press is being violated. Freedom does
not by any means mean license. Men on newspapers should be held re
> pon si hie for malicious or injurious statements as well as any one else and.
indeed, ought to he regarded as greater offenders because of the opportunity
afforded them of giving their statements greater publicity. The freedom ,
allowed the press has been responsible for the corruption of the press in
many cases and to such an extent have some newspapers gone that the
cleaner men of the same calling have suffered in reputation as a consequence.
The newspaper calling should hardly he blamed because fools or false
alarms or frauds enter it as churches should not be held responsible for the
wrong doing of a minister or two. but when people take ad\antage of their
printed sheets to commit crime they should he treated as any other criminal.
Decent newspapers never plead the so-called freedom of the press because
they ask no more freedom than is allowed to any other profession. The
sheets that keep constantly howling about the violation of their freedom are
the kind that do not even understand the meaning of the word and that fail
to recognize the right of others to enjoy it. The press should have freedom
certainly but this freedom should be the same as that allowed to individuals
and this freedom to the individual or the newspaper does not at all mean that
either is free to blackmail or destroy the reputations or the business of those
who have the same bUssed rights to be free themselves from the acts of j
blackguards.
