court. in accordance with the law
which they have just laid down, have
absolutely the power to take away the
life, liberty and property of every citi-
zen of the state who may hold Views
not in accord with theirs. 1t is true
that they have admitted the right of the
people and of the press to critieise
them or their decisions. still they have
retained the right to determine the ex-
tent 70 which criticism may go, and
to determine for themselves whether
criticism be permitted or whether it
shall be punishable contempt.
Our opportunities for discussing the
issue thus brought before the people.
for the next 10 days at least, will be
limited. After that we snail perform
the duty we owe the people to go to the
full extent permitted by the court in
making people aware of the wonderful
power they have entrusted to the two
men who constitute the majority of the
highest court of the state.

no doubt that we shall be able to com
plete the sentence imposed without

CITIZENS MAY WELL PAUSE and
CONSIDER THE EFFECT OF THE
ACTION BY THE SUPREME COURT

Mr.. Broxon was the molly one of the
three members committed to the county
Jail who, when an interview was sought
with them in their cell through the
courtesy granted by Sheriff Roberts,
which is privilege which he gives all
prisoners, said
The friends of the Capital News and
of Mr.. Sheridan, Mr.. Cruzen and my
self should understand that we do not
feel thai there is any degradation what
ever in the sentence imposed by the
majority OF the court. Aside from Mr.
Cruzen. who had nothing whatever to
do with the writing or publication Of
tire articles complained about, we feel
that we are doing the greatest possible
service to the people of Idaho.
while we bow in submission to the
commands of the court. and while we
recognize their DEGREES as the law of
the state, we still feel that questions
vital to the future freedom of all the
people Of Idaho have thus been brought
to point where every citizen may well
pause and consider the power they have
given to two men--a power, as will be
noted in this deeision-not alone over
the freedom of the people, but one like

Il think the press as well as the

jurisdiction, and for that very reason

the law obtaining here should be clear

done, those who respect the law will
observe It, and those who disregard or
hold 1t in contempt will know the con-
sequences of their action. So far as
am aware, no court among English
speaking peoples has ever wholly de-
MED the right or power of the courts
to punish for contempt. This power Is

legal reason to give why sentence

Syllabus of the Court.
Il. Held, that the information states
facts sufficient to charge contempt.
20. The editorials and articles on
which this proceeding is based directly
charge that the court corrup,ly rem
dered the decision in the Spofford- -Gif-
ford case, and that 1t was rendered by
reason of political trade or bargain,
and not on the law and facts. BY such
publications there was an attempt by
wanton defamation and falSchC cd to
insult and intimidate the Judges, de-
grade the court and destroy its power
and influence and inflame and preju-
dice the people.
"3. Held, that said publications
were a direct attack upon the court as
a court and that the court, as court,
could not bring a private action to pro-
tect itself and that its only means of
maintaining its authority is BY con-
tempt proceedings.
a. The liberty of the press" is not
guaranteed by the constitution against
tire publication of deliberate falsehood
and misrepresentation in regard to de-
cisions of courts, even though the pub
fishers may think that public and pol
itical interests would be subseryed by
