U. S. Supreme Court Says Reporters
Need Not Disclose Source
Of Information.
DECISION IN CASE OF
N. Y. TRIBUNE REPORTERS
Had Been Held in Contempt of Court
for Refusing to Give Names
of Informants.

The United States supreme court
has handed down decision in the
eases OF George Burdick against the
United states and William L. Cur
tin aaginst the United States which
Is regarded as one OF the most I'm
portant ever rendered by that tTib-
unal as affecting the freedom OF the
press under the United States con-
stitution. Judge Learned Hand in
the United States district court IN
New York had helG ALsssIs~ ,Burd1eR
and Curtin, who are members OF
the New. York Tribune. in ContynY51
Of court lfor theiriEefusal to disclose
before the grand jury the sources
of their Information concerning cer&
tain articles published in such
newspaper in regard to charges Of
smuggling through the New York
custom house and had imposed the
penalties of $500 Zine and im-
prisonment upon each OF them The
supreme court reversed the iudg-
ment in. each case and directed that
Messra. Burdiclyand Elrtin be re-
leased frcni custody
One Of the greatest4 questions in
voiyotl in the controversy before the
court was the power Of the presi-
dent of the United States to force
upon witnesses before the grand
fury a general pardon flor all Of
fenses against the federal laws in
order 40 ccmpea-. .tiieiaato waive their
constitutional privilege of declining
to answer questions which in their
opinion might tend to incriminate
them.
Mr.. BurdicE, who was the city
editor Of the Tribune, and Mr. Cur.
ti3. enc OF its reity affareporters
were supmoned before the grand
fury and asked from whense the in
formation had heen obtained. They
refused to answer upon the ground
that their eyidepee might tend to
ineriininate them. Obviously their
testimony might have tended to in

the president OF the United States
was appealed to, and From hin

be q pardon FOR offenses which had
not been proved and which had not

FROM DARKEST POLAND.

The plight of Poland is exemplified
In the pitiful personal circumstances
of Edouard de Reszke, as one Of
many formerly affluent now reduced
to beggary and the verge of starva-
ton through no fault of their own
The contrast is poignant between the
Metropolitan basso, who held his
hearers spell-bound and sang himself
to fortune, and the wretched captive
now languishing in a cellar without
light or fuel or sufficient food.
The intensity of Polish patriotism is
instantly manifest in the zeal of de
Reszke's compatriots in every land. A
brave beginning has been made here
in Philadelphia. A contribution has
been obtained by the Polish division
of the Emergency Aid and sent to
Henryk Sienkiewicz, the chairman of
the European Polish Aid Commission.
And Paderewski has come to our
shores to appeal to a people whose
Good Samaritanism in this universal
hour of need is making more friends
for us than generations of diplomatic
negotiations could secure.-Philadel.

Halt FIRING SQUAD

The State Department has not yet
been officially notified that the Car
rama authorities have condemned an
American correspondent at Vera Cruz
to be shot for sending out uncensored
news dispatches, but the department
deems itself justified, by the informl-
ton it has received, in directing
Consul Silliman to take up the ques-
ton of the correspondents fate with
Caranza Immediately. The warning
factions of Mexico have long
record Of murders and outrages
against them, but it is not to be be-
lieyed that the Carranza authorities
will deliberately put an American to
death for the offense described.
Doubtless Consul Silltman has been
directed TO make such representations
to Carranza as will result in hating
the firing squad. This government
will have to find way to prevent the
execution of the dangerous sentence,
or public indignation in this country
will bring the Mexican situation to
the boiling point fredericksburg

EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBILITY.

Although President Wilson's hands
are full of the external concerns Of
state. the heavy burden of the coun.
try's foreign affairs which Wilson is
bearing does not represent all the
problems which call for his attention.
Domestic affairs which are matters OF
administration concerns are not ali
that they should be within the power
of the administration to make them
so. 1t seems to be agreed generally
trat the country's diplomatic relations
to the European war have been taken
directly in charge by the president
Manifestly these relations have not
been left to the secretary of state,
and for this the country is thankful
II would seem, however, that this is
predecedent which the president well
might follow in other egards.-New
