THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY

Judge Parker, of the court Of
appeals of this State, writing the
prevailing opinion of the court IN
the action of Miss Abigail Rober-
son against the Rochester Folding
Box Company and the Franklin
Mills Con pany, declares that the
right of privacy" does not exist
as contended by the young girl,
says the New York Evening
Post" She sued to recover heavy
damages for the unauthorized use
of her picture to advertise a brand
of -four. Judge Parker says
'eThe so-ealled right OF privacy
Is, as the phrase suggests, founded
upon the claim that a man has the
right to pass through this world,
if he wills, without having his pie
ture published, his business enter
prises discussed, his successful ex-
periments written up for the bene-
fit of others, or his eecentrieities
commented upon either in hand
bills, circulars, catalogues, period
Gals, or newspapers, and necessa-
rily that the things which may not
be written and published of him
must not be spoken of him by his
neigbbors. whether the comment
be favorable or otherwise. While
most persons would much prefer
to have a good likeness of them
selves appear in a responsible pc
riodieal or leading newspaper
rather than upon the advertising
card or sheet, the doctrine which
the courts are asked to create for
this case would apply as well to
the one publication ds TO the other,
for the principle which court of
equity is asked 10 assert in support
of a recovery II this action Is that
the right of privacy exists and Is
enforceable In equity. and that the
publication Of that which purports
to be portrait Of another person,
even if obtained upon the street
by an impertinent individual with
a camera, will be restrained IN
equity. on the ground that an IN
dividual has the right to prevent
his features from becoming known
to those outside of his circle of
friends aud acquaintance
IF such a principle be ineorpo-
rated into the body Of the law
through the instrumentality of a
court of equity, the attempts to
logically apply the principle viii
necessarily result, not only IN a
vast amount of litigation, but IN
litigation bordering upon the alb
surd, for the right of privacy,
once established as a legal doe
trine, cannot be confined to the re
straint of the publication Of a
likeness, but must necessarily en-
brace as well the publication of a
word picture. a comment upon
onc's looks, conduct, domestic re-
lations, or habits.
"And were the right of privacy
once legally asserted, it would
necessarily be held to include the
same things if spoken instead OF
printed, for one, as we'll as the
other, invades the right to be alb
soiutely let alone. An insult would
certainly be in violation Of such
right. and with many persons
would more seriously wound the
feelings than would the publica-
ton of their picture

But Little Business Doing Now-Visitrso
from England Here.
Extreme quiet prevails in tobacco circles
here, due to the usual order of things.
This season of the year is always more
or less dull in the trade, and it will be
a. week or two before things begin TO
brighten uJ.
The sales on the breaks to-day will. in
all probability, be very small. Only one
or two Of the warehouses will have Of
feringS. From now on until May lSt
when sales an change viii begin, the re.
ceipts of loose will be very light.
Mr.. Henry Pound. connected with the
American Trading Company, and Mr.. An
drew A. C. Chalmers, of London, were
visitors in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Thomas Yulle, at the head of the
leaf department of the American Tobacco
Company, with office at New York, has
been in Richmond for a day or two visit
ing the plants here.
According to the statement of one of the
officials of the company, the branches
here of the American Cigar Company are
Manning to bring about i, SEQ female hands
to this city from the North. The COM
many will shortly occupy it's immense
five-story building on East Cary Street
and a large addition to the working force
will be needed. Female labor is said
to be exceedingly scarce in Richmond, in
other factories as well as those of the
American Cigar Company, and hence the
necessity for the importa ton.

cert this evening and another tonight,

we do not unlerrate the talent Of
the trained artists who have come here
to take part III the Festival; we do not
sanderrate the work Of the orchestra, di-
rected as it is, by gentleman who has
become a familiar figure at the Academy
Of Music, and who is regarded in this
community as an esteemed friend. But
we would emphasize the fact that the
delightful work Of all these artists IS a
mere incident in our commencement eA-
ercises. The chorus is the thing, for: It's
music is the expression of the Weones-

OF the Dispatch. It is one Of the freests
SneHspa pers in the world. editors are
not hired men employ put into
words the sentiments of Jody else
They are absolutely free ircss their
own opinions Of what is &c for the
State Of Virginia and the people OF Rich
niond. Nobody has ever insulted them
by suggesting any other condition. This
may bring upon them the penalty OF the
envy Of persons less fortunat ELY s1tu-
ated, but the statement seems to be part
Of the case.
The Dispatch company publishes the
Richmond News, which is separate
company, by contract, and the mechani-
cal and business ends Of the two papers
are combined for their mutual convent
sence, the result being about the most
complete and efficient newspaper estap-
lishnent in the South. Neither has any
thing to do with the editorial manage
ment or policy Of the other. Sometimes
they differ widely AS we understand,
the News was bought openly without any
reserve or concealment two years ago by
| business people who had important in
terests here, and who wanted access to
| the public and the opportunity to defend
| their properties against what they re-
garded as injustice and improper exac~
| lions.
The Richmond Times may be unable
to conceive the possibility that men
| largely interested in newspaper property
can keep their hands out of it and re-
frain from using it as q fad or an organ,
but the facts, so far as the Dispatch and
| the News are concerned are as they are
| stated. So far as we know the stock
holders Of the Dispatch are business men,
who invested their money with the pur-
pose of getting direct cash returns for 1t,
and they have sense enough to know that
to be successful a newspaper must be
run by newspaper men and inside its own
| Office.
We hope that we have given The
| Times enough insight into the internal
and business matters of the Dispatch to
| crafty it's coriosity. This establishment
| is so fortunate as to have no secrets,
because it has no need for them. All it's
methods and motives are open and clear
| as the day, and all it's sources of action
| and interests are right here in Rich
| mond and Virginia. Its presses are run
behind plate glass, in full view OF the
most prominent corner in the city. and
it's books are accurately kept and are
open to anybody who has a legal or
moral right to see them.

| rhetorical, but attempting to be accu-
rately descriptive, we are compelled to
say that in our opinoin such methods az.

A View Of Richmond.

Says the Newport News Press:
Some of our Norfolk friends are COM
planning that Richmond is jealous Of
Norfolk and are inclined to resent what
they conceive to be meddlesome inter-
ference by Richmond in Norfolk's aft
fairs.
Without special a.lusion to the case
in point. we must say that tho charge
,hat Richmond is jealous OF Norfolk is,
to an extent, absurd. We know Rich-
mond pretty well and we know where
OF we speak When wc say that she Is
not Jealous Of any community on the
planet. How could she be? Richmond
Is entirely and utterly satisfied with
Richmond and in the belief Of Rich-
mond people there is no municipality
this side OF the Celestial City in tho sasne
Class with her.
