SUIT FOR $4,000.

Suit for $4,000 damages has been
filed against Editor Barber of the
Shoshone Journal because of an article
printed recently in his newspaper con
eerning meeting in a south Idaho
town from which a Non-partisan league
organizer was alleged to have been
elected because, the paper said, of re-
fusal to stand when the Star-Spangled
Banner was sung. The man named in
the story printed in the Shoshone
Journal says that he was irrigating his
ranch near Emmett, and because of the
article printed in the Shoshone Journal,
naming him, he believes to have been
damaged. The Free Press is not suf-
ficinetlv familiar with the facts in the
case to comment at length thereon. How
ever, one would naturally believe that,
if the story were told to Editor Barber,
and he trusting on the reliability of his
informant, printed the story only to
later have the damage suit filed against
him, he has been led inc a trap. The
policy of the Non-partisan league to-
ward newspapers which do not mani
fest spirit of friendliness toward that
organization is intimidation of the
press. Boycott is proposed and threa'
tened. In this connection it is inter
esting to note that the organizer who
last winter intimated that the Free
Press would be put out of business, last
Saturday was escorted out of Whitman
county, Wn., and he promised he would
not return.
