Portl and Gazette Opines on Libel Law and Public Scandal
The article argues for a law requiring publishers to reveal the proprietor’s name in each issue to curb libel and protect readers. It condemns anonymous scandal sheets, notes Portland’s publishing harms, and mentions Governor West opposing capital punishment while praising reform. It covers Gypsy Smith meetings and a school incident where a teacher used a hose for punishment, calling for stricter discipline and accountability.
