Grand Victory for The Press of the
United States.
Whiteville News.

Whiteville News.
This is a grand victory for Jose
plus Daniels, the press of the Uni
ted States, and a vindication of the
rights of the people through her rep
resentatiVe-the public press-in
voicing the sentiments of the p0pu-
lace and in the protection of their
rights as American citizens.
Judge Pritchard voiced the sentf-
ments of that grand founder of the
true principles of Democracy, Thomas
Jefferson who said. Were it left to
me to decide whether we should have
a government without newspapers or
newspapers without Il government, |
should not hesitate a moment TO pre-
fer the latter.
Hurrah for Josephus Daniels.
Hurrah for Judge Pritchard!
Hurrah for the power of the press.

A Defense of The State Press.

In his editorial utterances, Editor
Daniels has been indicated, as not
being in contempt of court. His de-
Tense of his own position has been d
defense of the State press and as de-

The people of the State approve of
the fight that The News and Observer
has made against Federal interfer-

by the people to manage it and turn

spiracy. Mr.. Daniels has added thou
sands to his list of friends by the
stand which he has taken for the
freedom of the press i'll this matter,
and the course of Judge Pritchard in
promptly discharging him has added
greatly to his judicial power.

Whatever one may think of the mer-

be truthfully said of Josephus Daniels
He acted very courageously at try

things eve do not agree with hlnl al

A Different story.

The Optic yesterday contained an
account of some recent trouble In a
west side saloon. The story was
q combination OF fact and fiction as Is
evident from the following authentic
account Of the affair which was hand
cd The Optic today:
Salamon Ortiz, patron Of the saloon
No. |, was in the saloon drinking,
since early In the evening-others
were paying for It though. About
l1.30 saloon patron No. 2 came for
the first time. All at once Ortiz
started to abuse him, going SO far as
to take him by the arm and put him
outside and lock the door on him
and there was no fooling about II
either.
Silva went and unlocked the door
and In a few minutes here comes Mr..
saloon patron No. 2 again. Ortiz goes
to meet him and a quarrel is begun.
About this time Silva was ready TO
60 home and Is he was walking from
behind the bar he heard the crashing
Of glass and saw Ortiz leaning against
the window. He asked Ortiz to pay
for II, and this was Ortiz reply. |
have no money, charge 1t to me- Silva
didn't like that SO he slapped Ortiz.
Ortiz made a motion for his pocket
and SO did Silva, and that Is how Or
tiz came 70 get 1t on the head. There
were no arrests made that anyone
knows Of.
