THE NEWSPAPER AND THE GAN,
DIDATE.

It is not the desire of the editor of the SILvEK BELT to intrude his per sonal disputes or difficulties upon its readers, but the incident of last Fri day, wherein it was charged that he was assaulted by A. R. Edwards with a gun, seems to deserve some notice if for no other reason than to correct the erroneous opinion held by some per sons in this community that newspa- per has no right to comment upon or criticise the qualifications and charac- ter of candidates for public office.
 In certain class of cases, wherein the interests of the public are imme- diately involved, the press is given es. pecial protection. These cases are called privileged publications, and iu- clude such matters as concern the pub lie welfare. Among the various publi- cations which are protected by the law of privilege are those respecting public men and candidates for office, and even extends to the private character and conduct of the individual, which are material in determining his fitness for office.
 There are numerous decisions of the courts to sustain thIs position, and which go even ia rther in establishing the principle that publication relating to public officer or candidate is priv ileged, if free from malice and made in good faith, even though it contains false imputations upon the integrity of a person whose conduct is being con sidered.
 In the case of Marks vs. Baker ct al CPS Min. 162) the court held that al. though the charge was not in fact true, 1t was nevertheless privileged if made in good faith, for the reason that free discussion in the press of the fitness of candidates for elective offices is essen tial to good government.
 In another case, that of Copeland ys. the Express Printing Co.,, (G4 Tex. 354), in setting aside verdict for damages, Judge Watts, of the supreme court, said 'It may be asserted as sound principle, and one supported by authority, that when person consents to become candidate for public office conferred by popular election, he should be considered as putting hls character in issue so far as respects his qualifications for the office"
 Thomas M. Cooley, one of the fore most law text-writers in this country, in his work on "Torts" (page 210 concludes discussion of the subject in these words "There should. conse- quently, be freedom in discussing in

The total number of children of school age in Chicago by the census of 1900 was 3,247, an increase of more than loo percent in ten years and an average increase of 10000 d year. At least 600, 900 of these children should be in the schools, whereas the enroll ment last winter was 2G2, ,63S. This fall it is probably 2SO,O ,OOO in the public schools and about SO,0OO in the private and parochial schools. There is large increase this fall Tn the attendance at the parOchial and a corresponding falling of in the public schools because of an order from tue acting archbish- Op of the Chicago Roman Catholic diO- cese requiring all children to attend the parish schools for religious instruc- tiOn for at least one year before con. tirmatiOn. The effect of this order is already noticeable in the public schools in districts where the Roman Catholic population is large.
