jefferson City, NO., OCT. 13.-"Do
unto others as ye would others should
do unto you do not bear false witness
against your neighbor keep the conn
mandments; obey the laws tell the
truth be honest to yourself as we'll
as to your fellow-man; bear no malice,
but judge all men with charity, and
life will be sweeter and more profit
able and the world will be better, and
your neighbor's faults will not ap-
pear quite so objectionable. In this
spirit the Judgment in this case was
entered and in this spirit let it be
judged
The above is one of the closing par
agraphs in the opinion which was
handed down by Justic Marshall to-
day in the contempt case in which
Editor Shepherd Of Warrensburg was
fined $500 last summer. The opinion
was concurred in by all Of the Justices
as was the decision when he was
fined.
Fifty-five pages of typewritten
manuscript make up the opinion,
which goes in to the history Of con-
tempt, freedom of the press and libel.
There were many lawyers in Jeffer-
son City today to attend the opening
of the supreme court and the opinion
was read by many with varying COM
ment.
Starting with Caesar Augustus, the
court quotes many old English cases
to show the growth Of the power to
punish for contempt. Dueling is mem
toned in manner to show that there
was not so much libel when the code
Of honor was invoked. The news
paper editorial which Shepherd wrote
is condemned for the freedom with
which it scandalizes all departments
Of the government, and 'the DEM
ocratio nominating convention of
1902"
In the latter part of the opinion,
after describing what good Citizen
should do and not do. the opinion
says that "to be a judge over such
people is the highest honor that can
be conferred upon mortal man. To be
judge without such powers as
judge were to be kicking post for
every mailman, butt for every idiot
or knave, and withal an object of con-
tempt of all men"
All the various degrees of contempt
and libel are fixed by this opinion Of
the court. Criticism, according to
the opinion, cannot go beyond crit
icism of mans works, and must not
ascribe motives unless the libeler cares
to take the consequences.
