Lauds Paper
In his closing address Attorney Davis
for the prosecution took occasion to
pay tribute to the fair and exact
manner in which news matter usually
is presented in The Advertiser The
attorney dwelt on the fact that the
copy of the "Dixie DOolittle" adver-
tiSement had been delivered by the
defendant in person to the foreman of
the composing room of the paper in
the night time.
He again read over the definitions Of
the terms used in the article and then
injected IA patriotic note into his ut,
terancc, referring to the members of the
Elks lodge who are wearing their
rountry's uniform and are fighting for
the Nation.
Judge He"n then defined the law Of
libel, as given in the statute and de
liVerrd his Instructions The jurors re-

Attorney Davis had objected TO testf
mony along this line from Gen. J. H.
Soper holding that General sopcr with
bis seventy-odd years could not be re-
garded as a loyal Pyoung man. At.
torney Watson held that BaIch could
properly be held to be young man.
Lodge Is Loyal .,,7ssG :.
Watson said that the loyal.
ty Of the lodge had. in no way, been
brought into question, saying he be.
lieyed within its membership were to
be found some Of the most loyal and
n"triotic citizens in the community.
The attorney replied to the testimony
that had been given concerning patrio-
tic acts Of the Elks lodge and the
donations Of the lodge to the Red Cross.
He held that the lodge IN this had done
little more than its duty, saving that
every loyal and patriotic citizen had
made sacrifices to aid the Nation in the
present crisis. The lodge had done
only what all good citizens and loyal
organizations had done, he said.
ATTORNEY Watson pointed to the fact
thnt individual members Of the Elks
loa"e Themselves did not regard what
had been written MS injurious or defp
matory. Tn this connection he referred
