The management of thw paper will positively assume no responsibility for the utterances ami state ments of its correspondents or contributors. The editor endeavors to make no false statements w hict wrongfully reflect upon the eharacterof any person officially or otherwise, and he will cheerfully correc any erroneous statement which perchance may appear in this pap r. if the matter is called to his notice THE PLAINDEALER LIBEL CASE. That the people generally regard a fearless, free and untrammeled press as one of the greatest safeguards against boodling. grafting and all manners of official cor ruption and violation of the laws, was again effectually demonstrated last Saturday night when a jury composed of twelve of Douglas county's representative citizens after listening to the evidence introduced in the $10,000 libel proceeding instituted recently against the Plaindealer: the arguments of able counsel on both sides and the in structions of the trial judge, returned a verdict of ac quittal, thereby exonerating the Plaindealer of the charge of libel preferred against it. While such revelations and incident developments are regretable, especially when of a local nature which in volves home people and institutions, it nevertheless be comes the duty of a real newspaper if cognizant with facts which tend to indicate official misdoing, violations of the common laws, wantoned waste or extravagance in the handling of public funds or anything having a tendency to impose upon the public or taxpayers, to show up such ir regularities and thereby protect community and public interests. The Plaindealer, as its name implies, has long been recorded in this class of aggressive and fearless newspapers, and While it would not knowingly or willingly persecute or wrong any person, corporation or political organization, or willfully speak one word derogatory to the character, reputation or good name of any person or persons, it cannot knowingly submit to impositions being imposed or practiced upon the people, by excluding dis cussions of public interests from its columns or edi torial reference thereto. As is stated at the Plaindeal er's mast head, the publishers of this paper endeavor to make no false statements which wrongfully reflect upon the character of any person officially or otherwise, and they stand ready and willing to cheerfully correct any er roneous statement which perchance may appear in the Plaindealer if requested to do so. While an editor should always endeavor to guard against libeling anyone, he should not go so far in his ap prehensions, which a great many newspaper men do, as to become so apprehensive of danger in this direction as to see libel in every spicy story or just criticism of an er ring official, company or corporation, which attitude renders a newspaper a mere nonentity and of no influence or service whatever to the community in which it is pub lished. Just so soon as a newspaper becomes intimidated or muzzled it looses its prestige, its worth to the public and its true mission in upholding the right and condemn ing the wrong. "With charity for all and with malice toward none" the Plaindealer will continue to "hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may." OREGON'S EVIL GENIUS. What is the peculiar brand of evil genius that is persu ing Oregon anyhow? After breaking up the lethargy of the ages and begin ning general state development, now we are to be in dicted as a nest of jinworthy land stealers. For the first tim we get a big appropriation and have a delegation working in political harmony, when all are to be branded and retired from usefulness, says the Capital Journal. Af ew years ago we lumbered along with a one-lunged representation in the senate and two congressmen who could not agree on anything. Then when we begin to build the cannal at The Dalles and open the Golumbia and prepare to hold a world's fair, the interior department starts a war on the whole state. Then we give President Roosevelt for thousand and fire the opening gun in his triumphant Presidential campaign only to have John Hall summarily removed and the merry war goes on. Are we then so much more,corrupt politically and lack ing in general honesty and integrity than the other Pa cific Coast states that all the infamy of the land fraud business is to be heaped on poor old Oregon? What crime have our forefathers committed that all the harsh things should come our way? Say, Mr. Presi dent, can't you shy a few bricks at one of the other states in the Union? We've had about all the bad adver tising we can stand up under and keep in the happy family of progress and expansion. Of course, Oregon gets a whole lot of advertising out of it all. Thej whole world is learning where we are and that there mnjt be rich resources here which everybody is trying to steal. , MITCHELL DEMANDS TRIAL It is stated In a dispatch from Washington that Sens tor Mitchell will return to Oregon and demand a speedy trial under the indictment brought against him by the Federal grand jury in the land fraud cases. This action on Mitchell's part is due to the report current that through dilatory tactics on the part of the prosecution his trial is to be postponed from time to time for a year. Is further evidence necessary to convince the general public that there is some politics at the bottom of this whole procedure against Mitchell. It seems to be the mission of professional politicians who hajve had pull enough with the interior department to get into authority, to come to Oregon and smash the political organization controlling the state, to "vindi cate" ahd satisfy the whims of Mr. Hitchcock, rather than gft to the bottom of the most flagrant, gigantic and pernicious land steals perpetrated by the big railroad eom panies.

It seems to us that the press of the state is bating boo little interest in the verv meritorious measure designated as House bill No. 103, which was recently introduced by Hon. H. G. Sonneman, of Douglas county, ami which pro vides for the just taxation of telephones, telegraphs and the Wells. Fargo Express Company on their gross earn ings. This bill is particularly meritorious in "that it creates another source of revenue for the state, and after looking into the matter pretty thoroughly we Bad that it 1 1 a. at . a .an is noon me oniv Dili introduced thus far at this session Humor ?
