annul such power" He even went
! further and said that should a
newspaper publish what it believes
to be truthful report of proceed
ings in open court, the Judge has
a right to denounce such report as
false without summoning the
editor and permitting him to be
heard in his own Defence" and
that "for any injury thus done to
the reputation of a newspaper the
Judge cannot be called to account;
that the newspaper cannot venture
to say that the judge had willully
misstated' the facts, and that, in
summarily Furnishing the editor
for such contempt, the editor may
be deprived of the right to prove
by witnesses the point made in his
answer.
These assumptions as to the
extraordinary powers of the in
kicary stand as a menace to the
freedom of the press fraught with
tremendous possibilities. While
the Supreme Court of California is
likely to jealously guard every
avenue by which the protection of
judicial courts may be threatened,
1t seems improbable that the plac-
ing OF such monstrous powers of
absolute control in the hands of
judges can be sanctioned by it.

An Emperor. Who Edits A Newspaper.

An Emperor who rules over 400,
ooo, 900 subjects is the editor-in-chief
of the Oldest newspaper in the world.
Not only is it the Oldest, but it has
the smallest actual circulation of
any publication on the face of the
globe, each daily issue consisting of
a single copy.
The name of this unique journal
is the "Pekin Gazette" and it has
been getting out its one copy day,
with few interruptions, for about 800
years.
The "Pekin Gazette" is the organ
of the Chinese Imperial Court, and
each day the single copy is tackled
up on big board outside the Purple
City, where the Emperor lives. 1t
averages sixteen pages. The sheets
are about seven inches long and
three wide, and the reader begins at
the lower righthand corner and runs
his eye up and down the vertical
columns from right to left, which is
the Chinese way. The paper con-
tains nothing but strictly exclusiv
news, but not line is there of gossip
about the Son of Heaven, or sensa-
tional details about his corrupt
Court. There is no advertisement
in its pages.
Most of the articles are dictated
by the Emperor himself, and they
generally consist of official acts and
reports. The Empe1or's assistant
in his editorial duties is his mother.
All news relating to the condition of
the kingdom, or anything else that
the Emperor wishes to keep from
his subjects, is, of course, vigorously
excluded, and no Chinese journal
list dares to draw any deductions or
make any comments on what appears
in this Royal publication. After
the paper is printed the Emperor
sometimes makes marginal notes on
it with red pencil.-Answers.

"A Menace To The Press.

There is a case pending before
tie Supreme Court Of California
Of unusual Importance to news
papers, as the freedom Of the press
and the public's right to receive q
full unbiased report Of court pro-
ceedines issinvolved in the issue.
The case grew out Of Q report
made by the Sacramento Bee in
which certain testimony was print
ed-as the Bee claims to be able
to prove-correctly. This report
was subsequently criticised severe
iy by counsel in the case in which
the testimony was given, and the
judge, at his request, declared the
report to be grossly false state
ment, q gross fabrication"
The Bee undertook to prove the
truth of it's report by comparison
with the court. stenographer's
notes and by witnesses, but per-
mission TO do 50 was refused. In
defending tn e report it stated
sditorially that "the judges state
ment that it had falsi6ed the news
was untrue. and the Judge knew it
to be untrue when he uttered it"
Whereupon the judge caused the
editor TO be arrested and sentenced
him to pay a fine Of $500 or 90 to
prison for 25O days.
In sentencing the editor Judge
Catlin held that courts have an
inherent right to protect them
silyes by Furnishing for contempt
committed in or out of the pres
ance," which is no doubt true, but
his second proposition is doubtful.
1t is that courts created by the
constitution, should that .instru-
ment fail to confer such power on
them, have unlimited power in
shis direction, and that no act OF
the Legislature a n restrict or
