A law Concerning Which the Newspaper
‘ Men Differ Somewhat.
4 San Francisco, March 17, 1899.
© Bprror Transcrrrt: So the leaven
‘has worked. .And the writers for the
<press—except the vileand purchasegble—are: praying that the Governor
‘will sign the bill, I refer to the act
making it compulsory fora writer to
~gign his of her name to anything that
may. be construed as libelous, and
which is published in a newspaper.
For years, on the street, in offices, in
my home, I have advocated this measure. Through the columns of the
‘TRANSCRIPT, which you 80 kindly gave
me access to, I have stated, time and
again, why stich an act should be passed
by the Legislature. . Many of the best
writers.on the papers here think that
all. articles, libelous or otherwise,
should be signed by the full name of
the writer. Some say, however, that
the impersonality of the paper being
gone, its influence would go with the
personality that appeared: What nonsense! Does not every intelligent mau
and woman know that in these days
all newspapers are simply the personal
organs of their owners? “Js. it net a
well-known fact that a majority of
these proprietors of the press are incapable. of writing two sentences
grammatically correct ? Itis certainly
true. Insucha dilemma what course
do they pursue ? Why, they hire some
bright bat irresponsible man as managing editor, and he in turn hires writers of all degrees, aud they write as,
the managing editor dictates. They
have no opinion; or if they have and
it conflicta with ‘the course laid out by
the managing editor, they must “hide
it under a bushel.”
Louis XIV. when he ascended the
throne of France, said,.“I am the State,”
and it appears to me that the managing
itors of the present day appear to
not express it in so many words. You
will observe that I speak of,managing’
editors,and.not proprietors. I doso
advisedly. Slowly but surely, if he
knows his business, he becomes to all
intents and purposes the proprietor as
wéllas the proprietor’s agent. And the
proprietor, for the sake of a nice, easy
time, is willing that all the burden shal)
be borne by his factotum..
* Now, let it be remembered, that the
managing editor himself does not write
a line. He gives out the subjects, and
nothing goes in the paper, especially of
an editorial. character, unless it has
passed his censorship.
One of the most brilliant editorial
writers on the coast has told me many
times'that he wished a law was passed
that would make it compulsory. for
every writer to sign his name— whether
the article was long or short—to everything he wrote. “But it wouldn’t suit
the proprietors,” he said.
A great stress is laid upon the fact
that such a law would work a hardship
upon the country papers, What bosh!
Does not every man, woman and child,
within a radius of twenty miles, know
who writes for the country papers? Of
course “Rex,” “Justita” and “Pro Bono
Publico” might be relegated to the
waste basket, but as a general proposition that would be small loss.
Tu large cities, however, it is different.
The impersonality of the press has
been jealously guarded, and for no
good purpose. Dispute it who-will,
that ia a fact. I state as a truth that
can not be controverted, that if an article is worth publishing the name of
the writer should; be signed to it. I
hope the Governor will signa this bill;
and ‘if he does, it. will be found to
‘work so well that another bill, still
moré stringent, will be passed by the
next Legislature. Water MEapD.
