Law of Newspaper Libel.

One of the most important decisions of
the higher court recently handed down is
that of Justice Paxson, in the case of
Stewart vs. The Press, ruling
that in privileged cases, "no presumption
of malice arises from the mere fact of
publication, but malice must be proved as
a fact in the cause before the plaintiff can
recover"
1t is decided that claw is the perfection
of common sense" If that is so, and it
should be, then it will be generally recog-
nized by every intelligent layman that
Justice Parsons ruling as cited above is
good law. The newspaper press has no
higher duty than that of exposing the
shams and frauds by means of which ig-
norant and unscrupulous adventures de-
ceive the public, and that would be a
most injurious law which would curtail
the right or the duty of the newspapers to
render such frequently necessary service
to the community Philadelphia Led
