FREEDOM OF PRESS
DEFINED BY JUDGE
MOLYNEAUX RULES IN FAVOR
OF ACCUSED EDITOR OF
MINNEAPOLIS
PAPERS MAY REPORT WITHOUT
COMMENT ANY MATTER
->:. PURELY NEWS

Judge Molyneaux in district court
yesterday sustained demurrer to the
Indictment against D. R. Johnson, editor
of the Royal Peoples magazine, pub
lshed in Minneapolis. 81
Mr.. johnson was charged in the in
dictment with violation of the state laws
making it unlawful to teach or advocate
by any written or printed matter nom
support of the government in its prose-
cution of the war.
Printed La Toilette Speech.
The Indictment was returned be-
cause the magazine had printed two
speeches, one by Robert M. La Toilette
and che by Ernie Lundeen, which
had attacked some Of the acts and pol
icies of the United States government
at this time. Judge Molyneaux ruled
that the facts in the Indictment do not
constitute an offense because they fail
to show that Johnson teaches or advo-
Gates the sentiment of the speeches which
he published.
Publication Is Not Teaching.
Mere publication, without editorial
comment on the speeches is not teaching
or advocating the sentiment of the
speeches Judge Molyneaux pointed
out, and the fact that these speeches
were made by United States congress
men on the floor of houses Of the Con-
gress and are matter of public record
which may be carried by the United
States mails under congressional frank,
would allow of their publication in any
periodical or newspaper without viola
ton of law.

Right.
The legislature may control and the
courts may punish RIGHTEOUSNESS of the

tofore there were quite number of such
