right Of the press to free expression.
At this distance it would appear that
the Idaho court has acted on the
theory that only one right was in
volved, and in so doing the court
seems to have subordinated the more
important to the least important issue.
What is contempt Of court? There
is such an offense and 1t often merits
severe punishment. Anything that in
terrupts orderly procedure in the
court room or tends to interfere with
the fair trial of case amounts to
contempt of court. The witness who
refuses to answer a question, the at
torney who insults the trial Judge, the
spectator who raises disturbance -
all are in contempt Of court. They
must be punished IL the court is to
maintain it's function in the interest
of the public. All such offenders in
terfere palpably with the going ad-
ministration of justice. They must be
brushed aside, not because they have
hurt a Judges feelings. but because
they have interposed obstacles to tie
progress of justice.
Is it contempt of court when an
editor, after the close of a case, ven
lures to write. an opinion that the
court has made a mistake? Is it con-
tempt of court when a public speaker
public policy ventures to
express an opinion that the courts
opinion is not in line with public
policy? Such criticism. even though
voiced, cannot interfere
with the course OF justice in that par
ticular case. which has been decided.

Press Comment.
rHE PRESS AND TIE COURT

Sioux City Journal: Is 1t a crime for
i newspaper to criticise court? The
supreme court of Idaho says yet II
has ordered the publishers of Boise
newspaper to spend ten days In Jail
and pay a fine Of $500 each for con-
tempt of court. The offense in this
Instance consisted in publishing in
news and editorial columns criticisms
of a ruling by the court. The ruling
barred the progressive electors from
place on the official ballot In the
late election. One Of the contemptuous
articles complained of by the court
was from the pen Of Theodore Roose-
welt and was printed in the news
columns of the Boise paper. Other
criticisms to the same effect were
published in the editorial columns. For
alleged contempt Of court in circulat-
ing matter held to impede the ad-
ministration of justice the offending
publishers are now to be fined and
imprisoned. the offended court acting
as jury and Judge in the case. On the
same principle Theodore Roosevelt
might be fined and imprisoned IL he
should come within the jurisdiction Of
the Idaho supreme court
Three rights seem to be involved in
the Idaho case. % There is the right
of the court to protect its dignity. (2)
There is the right of the individual to
tree speech. ca Finally there is the

WELLS FARGO WILL

San Francisco. Jan. 7.--Direct com
petition, national in scope, between the
Wells Fargo Express Co. and the fed.
eral parcels post will go into effect
as soon as plans which the company
has been maturing for the past FOUR
years can be set afoot Such was the
statement made here today by G. r.
Graham, traffic manager Of the COM
pany, at a hearing before the state
railroad commission.
1--WE are In constant communication
with the ether express companies"
said Mr.. Graham. and although they
have not yet signified to US their final
decision we hope they will fall into
line
Competition, he explained, would ex-
tend to both rates and services, with
special regard to eggs, butter, poultry
and other perishable foodstuffs. to b
delivered direct from shipper to con-
signee. thus eliminating the middle
mans profits
Eleven pounds would be the maxi
mum weight acceptable, as with the

Edward P. Ripley. president OF the
Santa Re railroad, was expected to
present the railroads side OF the ex-
press rate question now being looked
into by the commission later In the
day. He had asked to be heard.

Does it amount to interference with
justice to intimate that court is not
infallible? The history Of jurispru-
dence shows that our courts, from the
lowest to the highest, have made mis-
takes. Therefore it is advancing moth
ing new or startling to point out al
legged delinquencies in certain de-
cisions.
II public speaker cannot express
his opinion Of court decision what
becomes Of his constitutional guaranty
of free speech? If an editor may not
write his honest opinion of the out
come of case involving q principle
of large public importance. what be.
comes Of the constitutional guaranty
Of a free press?
Criticism in print and criticism by
word Of mouth are applied freely to
the executive and legislative branches
of the government When the presi-
dent makes break criticisms come
pouring in from all sides. SO also as to
congress. Is the court to have 3pe-
cial license to make mistakes and have
nothing said about it because it might
detract from the dignity of the judi
ciary?
There is, Of course, a difference be-
tween criticism and libel. If public
officer in any capacity is libeled, or
thinks he is, he has recourse in the
law. If he can prove the libel he can
have the libeler punished. But the
question must be decided by a jury
after the regular form OF court pro-
cedure. When Judge thinks he has
been libeled Is he to have the privilege

The work of taking the school census
will be commenced on Monday by Mrs.
N Ball, Misses Adele Ball and Emma
Lawrence, and Mrs. E. u VanWagoner.
On the number of names turned in
to the state department depends the
amount of primary school money
Owosso will receive and on this money
hinges to considerable extent the
cash that. will haye to be raised by
taxation for the city's school expenses.
The enumerators should get the
names of every resident who hss
reached the age of five years and is not
twenty years old. These are the only
limitations. 1t is pointed out that
citizens should not be fearful of giving
the census takers all the information
possible but rather ought to help them
in the work, as every name secured
means 30 much money added to this
district school fund from the state and
helps to maintain Owosso's educational

parents and believe that their virtues
could be attained only through effort.
The Templsrs had distinguished them.
selves by devotion to high and holy
principles and continued to do deeds of
kindness. By considering the work and
sacrifices of the Knights of the past
we are able to live better lives.
