TIE RIGHT OF PRIVACY.

The Supreme Court of Georgia
recently decided case involving
what is called the right of privacy.
The following paragraphs from the
syllabus define its right and show
it's limitations:
personal liberty includes not
only freedom from physical re
straint, but also the right ito lie
let alone, to determine ones mode
of life, whether it shall be life of
publicity or privacy, and to order
ones life and manage ones affairs
in a manner that may be most
agreeable to him so long as he does
not violate the rights of others or
of the public.
elderly of speech and OF the
press, when exercised within the
bounds of constitutional guaran-
tees, are limitations upon the eX-
ercise of the right of privacy.
Gone who seeks public office, or
any person who claims from the
public approval or patronage,
valves his right of privacy to such
an extent that he cannot restrain
or impede the public in any proper
investigation into the conduct of
his private life which may throw
light upon the question as to wheth
Ell the public should bestow upon
him the office which he seeks or
accord to him the approval or pa
tronage which he asks. The hold
er of public office makes a waiver
of similar nature, and subjects
his life at all times to closest scru-
tiny, in order that it may be deter
mined whether the rights of the
public are safe in his hands,"
1t appears from this decision
that the seeker of office or public
honors must submit not only his
public but his private life and re-
cord to publicity in so far as the
published reports are necessary to
show whether he is fit for public
honors or office. Even the right OF
privacy in private person is not
absolute, although the press must
not abuse its liberty by offensive
or injurious publications. There
is danger in either extreme.

Papyrus Books.


Early writer's made use OF linen or
cotton fabrics, of skins and even Of
scales of fishes for writing For long
period papyrus was used, the books
being made in rolls, being about one
and one-half feet wide and sometimes
fifty feet long. Papyrus was a flag or
bulrush, growing eight or ten feet
high, found in the marshes of Egypt;
from its inner pith the form of paper
called papyrus was made. Papyrus
sheets were neatly joined, attached to
stick and rolled upon it (whence we
have our word volume" from the
Latin volvere, to rolD. The titles
were written on tags attached to the
sticks or inscribed on the outside of
the rolls. The rolls were kept in
round wooden boxes resembling the
old fashioned bandboxes and could
easily be carried about.

BIG LAND SALE In
HAMILTON COUNTY

AS IOWA LAKE BED.


Special to The Journal.
Webster City, Iowa, Dec. 1.-One Of the most
Important land sales ever announced In Hamil-
ton county will be one to be held in this city

land. This tract includes the bed Of the old
Iowa lake. and is located east of this city III
Rose Grove township. The sale has been or
dered to satisfy mortgages amounting to
$6.6O9.71.
The history of this old territory Is interesting
With proper drainage the land it contains will
make the richest farm land to be found in the
county. While known lake, the tract was
really big slough or marsh. For many years
the title has been in dispute, and it has run
the gauntlet Of all the state courts. Finally the
matter as to whether it was lake or swamp
land was threshed out before the secretary Of
the interior. If 1T We're lake, title must come
from the government. and If a swamp. from the
state After years of litigation 1t was finally
decided to be swamp land, and that the state
could convey title. =
In the meantime, farmers living along the
shores had encroached on the bed and claimed
portions OF 1t by riparian rights and the right
| of adverse possession, etc. In the course OF all
this litigation, six mortgages were placed upon
| the land aggregating nearly $1,000. These are
all held by the State bank of Williams, which
has secured special execution authorizing the
sale OF the land The proceeds are expected tC
| pay off the accumulated Indebtedness and the
titles to purchasers. '.,~.5
