The constitution guarantees a free
press, and papers of every shade of
political and religious opinion pass
through the mails.
Attempts to suppress the other fell
low because we do not agree with

Opponents to our own particular

tempt if deserving of it, and In this
particular case with the libel courts
If they are guilty of deliberate false
hood Yours truly,
