FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

On last Saturday the Supreme Court
of Utah, in IN opinion written by Mr..
Justice Straup, dismissed the contempt
proceedings against the Herald-Re-
publican and a number of its en-
ployes. Coming so close upon the
heels of the Idaho decision in the case
Of the Capital News of Boise, this
opinion is Of general interest, as it
tends to uphold the independence of
the press and practically places a
judge, personally, in the same posi-
ton as other citizens, in the matter
OF obtaining redress for alleged libel
Gus published statements.
While a murder trial was in pro-
gress in Salt Lake City, some two
years ago, the Herald Republican pub
lsbed the confession of the defendant.
For this they were cited for contempt
by the District Court, and upon the
affidavits of the district attorney.
were punished. From this Judgment
of the court the defendants appealed.
In his concurring opinion, Mr.. Justice
Frick said in part;
Newspaper publishers, nor anyone
else, may not, therefore. do ANYTHING
that will interfere, impede or obstruct
the administration of the law. and in
case it is nevertheless done the Of
fender, whoever he may be, must suf-
fer the consequences. This. how
ever, applies only while a cause is ON
trial or is pending in courts and be-
fore its final determination
'lt must also be remembered that
where the criticisms or statements af.
feet the judge, personally, no contempt
OF court is ordinarily committed, I'M
less the criticisms or statements are
made to intimidate or embarrass the
Judge in a pending case, or of such a
nature as tends to or will embarrass
the judge in discharging his judicial
functions in future cases.
IF the latter is not the effect of
what is published of and concern
ing the judge, the only remedy he has
IS to bring an action for libel the same
as anyone also and obtain redress, if
he ss entitled thereto, in that way.
While it is true, as / have already
pointed out, that in this case the
plaintiffs were all guilty of a teehni-
cal contempt, yet the court punished
them as for an intentional and will
full contempt. This the court should
not have done over their sworn
denials and without hearing their per-
sonal statements in support of those
denials.
with the court, under such cir.
cumstances, therefore, condemns with
out a hearing, it; in my judgment, ex-
ceeds its power or jurisdiction.

COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Winnemucca Household Will
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a
back r~emoved-to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders, is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. The following ad-
vice of one who has suffered will
prove comforting words to hundreds
ct Winnemueea readers.
Mrs. A. Benning, 113, Curry St, Car
son City, New, says: "For a long
time one of cur family suffered from
lame back and other symptoms of dis
ordered kidneys and was in poor
health. Doan's Kidney Pills brought
great relief ia a short time. They
soon made a complete cure and for
that reason we consider them WORTHY
OF the highest endorsement"

The Word cocoanut.

Ie really should be .'coco-nnt," but
custom compels the inclusion Of that
superfluous "a" The term coco or CO.
COZ BY which the nuts are known Is
said By several authorities to be OF
Portuguese origin, and the derivation
Ii quite out Of the ordinary. Accord
Ing to Bauhin, cocoa Or coquhen Is de-
Rived from the three holes at the end
Sf the nut, giving 1t the resemb mblance
Of species Of monkey. Another writ
er, Piso, would have us believe the
name ID due to the sound emitted when
air u blown into one Of the holes OF
the nut, II being likened unto the
voice OF an ape. The Portuguese for
monkey 10 macaco or macoco. Per-
haps the best explanation offered b
that 'scocor means grin or grimace,
for the three eyes Of the nut certainly
convey the impression Of hideous
laugh. For the unnecessary "a" the
blame has been laid on the head Of q
careless proofreader, who allowed the
name In its present form to creep into
Johnson's dictionary. although the
learned doctor had used the correct
spelling. g.-London Telegraph.

PUSHING WORK

The Utah Power q Light Com
pany have constructed a power line
through Mud lake this week, getting
ready to transmit power over it to
their work on the Turnpike. The
line was built by driving down piles
and then wiring the long poles to
these stumps. The work was COM
paratively easy because Mud Lake ID
frozen solid and holes were made in
the ice down to the mud and then
the piles driven from there.
All the companies ice houses are
filed with ice, and there Is under
stood to be four of them holding
two hundred tons each.
Surveying parties are busy run
ming lines for the canal that Is to b'
dug from Marlboro to the lake anC
work will begin here within a shor
time, or as soon as the frost Is on
of the ground sufficiently to ALLOW
of blowing and dredging. Othe
engineers are laying out lines 70
other work in different parts of tn
valley. Work can be carried o.
very successfully now, becaus,
everything is frozen solid through
out the swamps ard lakes.
