THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER.

One OF the sad features OF civil and mill

porter. Without the reporter there might
be papers. but not newspapers, lie is
necessary evil, If he be any kind Of evil.
Those who fight hardest against him
and oppose his mission are the very ones
who at some future day need him most.
and 1t Is they who viii work most stren-
uously to use him for their purposes. 1t
gives me pleasure to say that we of the
Fourth Estate are gradually educating
the public in the art of receiving news
paper men and treating them with that
courtesy and frankness which the ex-
igencies OF the hour demand. We are
here to stay. We are friends OF all good

but much puffed up with his success as

Seeds overrued the motion to cancel wrlts
OF habeas corpus in the cases OF tour
military prisoners. and ordered the prls-

ties Nudge Seeds said that he could
not subscribe to the doctrine adVahceu
by the respondent that the mlhtary
was supreme and not amenaDle to the
court. because to do so would mean u
overthrow free government and supsu-
tute a monarchy.
The court said that the question in
volved was: Does the executive order
calling for troops constitute justi1ica-
ton Of tine arrest?
He held that civil law had not been
overthrown in Teller county and no evil
dence had been presented that law break
ers would not be prosecuted and pun
ished by the civil authorities.
Judge Seeds also strongly rebuked the
presence of the troops in the court room
Counsel for the prisoners were not

Mr. Thomas, speaking before the case
had been passed on. said:
The military officers are just as amen
able to q writ of habeas corpus as a civil
officer is and they must obey it or be

prisoner must be released or turned over
