 '"The recent decision of the Supreme a par with Russia. so far as the free dom of the press in concerned.
 From my early childhood I have heard 1t asserted that the Freedom of speech and the freedom of the anteed to every citizen by the law of the land. At this time I am aware of the fact that any early views are very erroneous; , ..,, in fact that If an official steals the newspaper Cor citizen). dare charge the OInclai with Delng tnlcI, dS such charge is calculated to cause a break of the peace. The cause in question was this:
 The superintendent of education of Crenshaw county and the county school board divided the public school money. In the division some children received twenty cents and others re- ceived over $3 per capita. As editor of The Critic, I characterized this as dia- bolical discrimination. adding that the sooner the people get rid of the super intendent of education the better. and that every member of the school board ought to resign. In about two weeks 1 was arrested for libel
 Prior to that time I harbored the halblcination that libel consisted in writing or printing what was not true. in printing or speaking worGs that may tend to cause Q breach of the peace.
 You cannot offer in evidence the truth of what you write or speak! It is about time for the press to sit up and take notice. If this is the law the proprietor of a. newspaper will have to go into the business of business likewise has its troubles. If the almanac asserts that there will be a full moon on a night when Alfonso visits Marie it may make him mad and he can charge the almanac pub fisher with libel. tending to provoke a breach of the peace.

Pocketbooks to the Rescue.

Pine Belt (Brewton) News.
 An unlooked-for dilemma, according to newspaper reports, confronts the Dothan city fathers. In. the religious wave that recently swept over that town, voluminous petition was pre- sented the city solons to close the dis. pensary. which petition met with favor and the order was issued that the booze-shop quit business. On sober second thought, however, these same councilmen are now wondering where the funds to run Dothan's braggcd- about public schools will be forthcom- ing. This side of the question appears to have been completely lost to view when the Mayor and Board of Alder men determined to renounce the reve- nue accruing from the liquor traffic. There is a way. however, without dis pensary or saloons-let wise heads and flush pocket books get together. That's all

We suppose people can buy the genuine Havana cigars in this coun- try just as they always could. but where they are maoe is 6-different proposition. The Boston Globe prints figures, to show that during the first two weeks in June of last year some- thing over two million Havana cigars were shipped to the United States from Cuba. while during the same period in last June less than two hundred thou sand were shipped. This great falling off is due to . strike among the cigar makers of Havana which has been go- ing on about six months and has al- most para1yxed the business. So. if there Is still supply of Havanas to be had in this country many of them are probably made here.
