SLANDER|NG THE COURTS.
HOW FAR May THE PRESS CRITI-
CISE JUDICIAL DECISIONS.
A Test Suit I'm the Contempt Pro-
ceedfngs Brought by the SUI
preme Court Against Editors of
Tacoma Sun-Abuse of Free speech

Questions of law bearing an intimate re-
lation to the rights OF the Individual and
Of newspapers to criticise the decisions Of
courts are involved in the contempt pro-
ceedings brought IN behalf OF the supreme
court against a. p. TugweI. editor. and
Frank Baker. his assistant, CT the Taco

retained Judge Richard Winsor. OF this

Counsel VIII also be secured in Tacoma-in
all probability ex-Superior Judge Staleup
viii be one OF the lawyers engaged-and
an interesting fight from a political and
legal point OF view is in prospect.
On motion OF Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Tom Vance, the case was originally
set for hearing before the supreme court
on March Il. Judge winsor has. howev-
er, written 70 Mr.. Vance asking that the
case be postponed for thirty days. so as
to enable both sides to prepare briefs.
Judge Winsor has already begun work on
the brief for the defendants.
II is held by counsel for Baker and
Tugweu that no contempt proceedings can
lie In the supreme court against the de-
PENDANTS: that the remedy Of the SANDER
ed court. IL such be proEen. lies in an ac-
ton at law. Judge Winsor cites the fol-
lowing section CT article CT the consttu-
ton of the state as governing n the IS
sue that has been raised:
Section 5. Every person may freely
speak. write and publish on all subjects,
being responsible for the abuse of that
right
IL VIII he eontended in behalf Of the ac-
cused editors that this section enGows ev-
bunal within bounds, and that II he ex-
ceeds those bounds or is Hbelous in his III
terauces, the remedy lies In an action at
law, either fer criminal libel Or damages.
1t viii be urged that Justice Anders. who
was personally assailed in the offensive
editorial. has the same right to bring an
action against the defendants as any pri-
vate individual, and no more: and that
the constitution docs not warrant the pun
ishmeut Of the accused by contempt pro-
ceedings in the court which has been as
sailed.
An interesting phase of the matter lies
in Judge Stallcup's connection with the
case 1t was he. while acting as superior
Judge Of Pierce county, who rendered the
decision against what are known as the
"Boggs warrants" Subsequently, the
supreme court rendered q decision in line
with this, but the last ruling holds that
the warrants are legal debt against the

the proposition. which has been IN issue

which that observatory has already &C., complished demonstrates that his claim is not exaggerated. Dr. See has given this atmosphere at Flagstaff thespecihc name of Arizona blue" It extends, he says. from the horizon to the zenith unbroken by a single cloud. "So blue IS this sky" he adds, "that we notice no appreciable whitening as we appro- ach the sun or the horizon. which Is free from dust and seldom obscured by cloud, and, of course, never by haze or fog. I have never seen, in any part of the world, a more impressive scene than the Arizona sky when viewed through the beautiful pine forest which surrounds the observatory. The moon stands out sharply in the most beauti- ful silver light, and we can see with the naked eye as much detail of her noun talns as one commonly sees elsewhere with an ordinary opera-glass." This superb, atmosphere. so eloquently de- scrlbed by pr. See, IS attributed by him to condition of meteorogical equilib- rum produced by local influences and freedom from disturbing currents. With such an atmosphere there is noth- ing to be wondered at when Flagstaff Observatory outranks all other observ- atories in the country, for the time it has been in existence, in the field of l astronomical discovery.

COMMITTEES.
HBrOncho RiIJO

The following, from the Graham county Bulletin. discusses the matter of rounding up" the outlaws now in the southern part of this county, and offers the only feasible plan of operat- ions for their apprehension:
 The positive assertion by the St. Johns Herald that "Broncho Bill' and his partner, who rece- ntly held up the train at Belen, New Mexico, is now in hiding in the Black River country, in the Southern portion of Apache county. and that both are wounded, is no doubt true Itis further stated that these outlaws exhibited to enc per son over S,OO0 the proceeds of their recent raids.
 It is becoming well known throughout the territory that this gang of outlaws and murder CTS have rendezvous in the Black River coun- tIy, and that they are harbored there, fed and furnished, by friends who are no less detrimen- tai to lawabiding country than is ''Broncho Biil' himself
 It seems to be a general opinion among men who know something of such characters that "Broncho Bill' will not be captured so long as Express companies and railroad companies rely solely on dress-parade detectives, who are noted most for their gallantry and efficiency through the columns of the newspapers.
 What Arizona needs to deal with such chara- cte.s as Black Jack" and 'Broncho Bin,' who are disgraciug the good name of the territory by their bold deeds of robbery and murder is a company of Rangers" such as Texas main tained in the years agone. Such company could be organized from the frontiersmen of Arizona who would make the country too hot Tor "Broncho Bill" and his kind and drive them to death or 10 seek other fields of operation
 The next legislature could do no greater ser vice to Arizona than to pass a law providing fo1 a company of Arizona Rangers, at the expense Of the territory, to be enlisted by the governor and to be under his directi n
 No county ID the territory is able to alone bear the expense of maintaining an efficient posse of men. horses and equipments such as is necess- ary in operations against desperate characters who know every mountain trail and fastness No sheriff or other officer could bear such ex- pense.
 Arizona's good name is at stake and the terri tory should provide for running such characters as 'BrO chO Bill" out of the country or captur- ing them. A good company of Rangers" will do the work and it is about the only remedy for the blet and disgrace now upon Arizona.

It Will Hasten Statehood.
lStar 1

Star
 Should Arizona be given the privilege of sending full regiment to the front it will be composed of the best material in the territory. And if it IS led by Governor McCord and has the oppor- tunity to show it's metal. McCord' s regi- ment will make record which will not , only be an honor to American arms but to Arlzona as we'll, and it will do more to demonstrate Arizona's right and fitness for statehood than every other argument combined. for 1t will show loyalty, manhood and self relian- ce of our citizenship. It will show capability of self government as well as readiness and willingness to sustain and fight for the honor of our common country. No congress, republican or democrat; no administration would hesitate to recognize this right of self government to Arizona under such cir cumstances. It IS to be hoped that Governor McCord will be given the privilege of raising regiment and lead ing his boys to the front. It will give Arizona statehood and Governor Nc Cord will be the first United Statss sen. ator from Arizona as the choice of democrats and republicans alike. Mark this prediction.
