Judge Wolf's Decision.
(New Haven Union. )

It was |especially fortunate for Editor William J. Pape of the Water bury Republican that Judge Isaac Wolf presided in the district court to hear the ca$e in which Senator James A. Peasley brought suit against the editor for alleged criminal libel. No jurist on the Connecticut bench is better informed on newspaper busi- ness generally and the libel laws Judge Wolf: graduated from the com- posing room, having 'come off the frame" of the old school printer His explanation of the rights of news papers to criticise the public acts of public officials was plain and con- vincing, an: outspoken statement of exact conditions
 The libel. law protects private in dividuals td quite an extent, but on the contrary it recognizes the liberty of press to !criticise in good faith the public acts ,of public officials.
 The Waterbury, Republican was right in this case. One or the pur- peses apparently. for which Senator Peasley went to the leglsiature was to get a job in the Waterbury court. This all too common practice of law yers going to the legislature to get court places is mighty vicious evil, Tn the future suspicion that lawyers are running for the legislature with the anticipation of landing court plums for themselves, ought to lead to their defeat. Lawyers wanting places :n the courts should refrain from run ming for the legislature.
 But of more wide reaching impor- tsnce Is Judge Wolf's decision that newspapers are justified and may le- gally criticise public officials as to their public acts if such criticism is honest, without fear of interference from the courts. Judge Wolf's deci- sion his strengthened the position of the papers materially and his action in excusing the jury without letting them consider the facts Is worth more than local or posing comment.
