WHEREIN THE CONTEMPT WAS
NON EST.

Recently the editor of a Virginia
newspaper was cited before a judge
of the circuit court for contempt of
that court. The case was the out
come of the papers comments on
the trial of negro for murder, who
was said to have been without coun-
sci or jury. We have known of sew
eral cases in which newspaper men
have been held in contempt of court
on account of criticisms appearing
in the newspapers. A notable case
was that of Josephus Daniels, now
secretary of the navy who, while
editor Of the News and Observer In
Raleigh, was fined two thousand
dollars, and was ordered held in
custody until the fine was paid, by
a federal Judge. The fine was never
paid, and if Mr.. Daniels ever spent
day in Jail, we are not conversant
with the facts.
The Virginia case was promptly
dismissed when the defendant stated
to the court that he had no personal
animus against the court in his ex-
pressions. or the proceeding, the
Danville Register very aptly says:
We are rather inclined to think
that, to use homely illustration, the
jurist had climbed tree and that
he was glad to welcome a convenient
assistance in climbing down easily
and gracefully. 1t was a mistake
ever to have issued rule against
the man in this case. No such pro-
ceedings should have been instituted
unless and until the court had sound
reason to believe that the writer had
been guilty of contempt.
Public sentiment clothes jurist
with his title and his powers, and
that same public sentiment will not
tolerate an assumption of arbitrary
or autocratic powers over the citi-
zens OF the State. The jurist who
resents criticism by haling the critic
before him for contempt places
himself in an embarrassing position.
He should rather court any legiti-
mate criticism of himself personally
or OF his procedure on the bench If
the judge be right that same public
sentiment will sustain him and con-
fuse and abash his unjust critic. Tho
time has passed, if indeed ii ever
really existed, when a judge might
exert arbitrary or tyranical power.

The Uses OF the Liberty
Loan.

To the American citizen who gives
some consideration to features of his
investments other than the mere money
retu-us from them, the uses to which
the money raised by the Gale of the
Liberty Loan Bonds is to be devoted
viii prove patriotic inducement to
purchase such bonds A certain dig
nifty attaches to money invested in a
high and noble cause.
The Liberty Loan is made by the
United States Government to purchase
arms and equipment for American SOL
diers and sailors, food and supplies for
the American Army and Navy. The
money is to be spent in America for
those Americans who are fighting
Americas battles on land and sea.
Part of the money raised by the sale
OF Liberty Loan Bonds is to be loaned
to our allies; this too is to be expended
in America. 1t is to be spent for food
and supplies for the Armies Of our allies
fighting on our side on the various war
fronts in Europe. 1t is Americas first
contribution towards doing her part in
the war we are engaged in
1t is billions for defense in the world

Democracy, but not one cent for trib-
ute.

democracy and safeguards the
free government for which their
fathers died.
Natchitoches played her part. as
she always does with honor and
credit to herself and her country,
as from the hour of the opening
of the booths until they closed
they were filled with her loyal
sons white and black, between the
required years, anxious, willing
and ready to register.
The historic old town presented
an interesting spectacle thruout
the day; eligibles and those under
and beyond the age limit filled the
streets. The Mayor issued a proc
lamation calling upon all the bust
ness houses to close from u to 6
p. M, making it half holiday so
the crowd was augmented in the
afternoon by the business people;
the Red Cross had meeting that
drew out the ladies a number
dressed as Red Cross nurses, who
went among the crowds and sold
sandwiches the result augmenting
the Chapters fund some twenty
odd dollars, and the flying of old
glory from many a flag pole and

pie. 1t is impossible at this writ

The Fifty Dollar Bond.

In issuing Liberty Loan Bonds in a
denomination as small as $50 the Secre-
tary Of the United States treasury has
nut it in the reach OF almost every
American citizen to do real and ac-
tual service to this country.
Not all can fight, not all can render
personal service IN other ways, but
those who are denied the privilege OF
serving their country in person have
the privilege of serving her by lending
their money to win her victories.
But it is not patriotism alone that
urges the buying of Liberty Loan
Bonds, Thrift and wise economy in
investing small savings commend these

They are safe, and considering their
tax-free quality free from all Federal,
state and local taxes inheritance taxes

that may hereafter be levied, affording
an absolutely net income OF 81 per cent,
they constitute an ideal investment fol

Nor is there any reason for waiting
for q later bond issue in the expecta-
ton of higher rate OF interest being

should such bond be issued later, LiDer-

Plant Something.

The proprietors of the large lumber
mills in Louisiana have adopted a prac.
teal and patriotic plan of aiding fooc
preparedness. They have agreed tc
give their employees one to two days
each week to cultivate home gardens.
They will not only pay the men their
regular wages while engaged in this
work, but each mill will employ farm
demonstration to instruct the workers in
the best methods of growing vegetables
and corn.
In few weeks it will be too late to
plant for grain and root vegetable crops
in the New England and Northwestern
States, but The Times invites the at
tention of its readers to the fact that
planting can continue on this coast until
autumn and in Southern California
practically during the entire year. Ev-
erybody who has vacant lot can put
something into the ground, and if his
employer will not give him day off
each week, well, under all the circum-
stances, God will forgive him if he
