The freedom of the Press. !"

We live in a country where &C
tions for libel are more numerous
than in any other nation. We enjoy
more freedom of the press" than
do the newspapers of any other ma
ton. England and Germany restrict
their newspapers to a degree that
would hardly be tolerated in any
section of the United States.
Particularly are American laws
liberal in regard to what may be
printed affecting public officers and
their actions. The theory of most
OF the American courts apparently
is that a pubic officer in accepting
Office voluntarily shoulders the bur
den Of proof in cases where he is &C
cused of misconduct in office. That
is to say, the utmost liberty is Civ

criticising public officials IN their

States toward newspaper attacks on
holders of public Offices. A state
official in Missouri, attacked by the
St.Louis Post-Dispatch, brought an
action for libel against the paper.
The supreme court in ruling against
the official expounded the law in
part as follows:
"1he legal propositions involved
= that a newspaper has the right
fairly and honestly to comment up
on matter Of public interest and
that the official conduct of a public
office is matter of public interest
are we'll settled.
"The people are not obliged to
speak of the conduct of the officials
in whispers or in bated breath in a
free government, but only in a des-
potism.
"On the contrary they have the
right to speak out in open discus
sion and criticism thereof, the only
test being made that they make no
false statements. And this is the
great safeguard of free governmnt
and of pure government. This is
fundamental among us.
1t is the duty of public newspal
per to tell the people, its subscri-
bers. its readers, the facts that it
may find about public questions and
matters of public interest and it is
its duty and right to draw differences
from the facts known-draw them
for the people,"
