attitude as an American citizen has
been justified after a trial which
raised every issue against him that
ingenuity and research could invent"
Outside the courthouse crowds had
gathered during the evening hours to
await news of the jury which had been
closeted In conference since morning.
As the courtroom emptied after the
announcement of the verdict and the
news Of the decision rendered spread,
cheer after cheer broke forth and a
band, returning from picnic, stopped
to add It's brass notes to the din.
There was tense moment when
the jurors filed into the box for the
last time. Their foreman, in voice
shaking with the emotions Of the
moment, spoke in such a low tone
that he could scarcely be heard. The
clerk read back the formal verdict:
"You do say upon your oath that
the said defendant The Tribune COM
pany, is guilty in the manner and
form as the said plaintiff hath in his
declaration in this case complained
against him and you assess the dam
ages Of the said plaintiff on occasion
of the premises over and above his
costs and charges by him about this
suit and in his behalf expended, at
the sum of six cents damages"
The editorial in which The Tribune
attacked Henry Ford and branded him
as an anarchist was printed in 1916,
The case has been fought through
several courts on one point or another
ever since, finally arriving through
change of venue asked by The Tribune
in Mt. Clemens.
The charge which Judge Tucker
made to the jury dealt mainly with
the laws of libel and contained among
others, the following points:
THE Tribune claims that they care
fully inquired as to what Mr.. Ford's
attitude was going to be as to the
care Of his men who Joined the ma
tional guard and that they based the
editorial characterizing him, as an
anarchist on that information. They
admit the publication and insist that
It was true and therefore justified;
and that even If not true it was fair
comment upon a matter Of public in
terest, either of which defenses are
SUFFICIENT If proven true. The burden,
however, is upon the defense when
they attempt to make either of the de-
lenses mentioned. They must estab-
fish either the truth of the charge
they made, or that 1t was fair COM
ment within the meaning Of that
term.
"a newspaper has the same right
as an individual to its opinions and
convictions-no more and no less"
The court further informed the jury
that II they found that the charge was
untrue they must find for the plaintiff.
He declared that there was nothing
ambiguous about the editorial. 1t
called Mr.. Ford an anarchist and the
only way the defendant could escape
being found guilty Of libel was to
proye that charge. He said further
that the jury must accept the popular
conception Of the meaning of the term
anarchist"
Counsel for The Chicago Tribune
made no effort to appeal the case and
accepted the verdict as It stood.

 Southwest by Lawrence Perry, in the
 Scribner..
 The highway-the DeweyHumbolt- Mayer road-led through country such as an customer beholds only in dreams, passing, as it does among the Businesses ot the Bradshaw range-mountains shoul- der high into the heavens on either side. Sharp, precarious turns in those sections of the narrow road which have been hewn out of the mountain side revealed an interminable perspective of hills, one overstooping the other until it seemed in very truth as though the Creator had selected this section of Arizona as a relief map of his memorable majesty.
 And there was the most intimate sort of feeling about the sky, nowhere so blue and the clouds nowhere so near. As we dipped into ravine the cowboy turned his head from the road.

CAMP ANDREWS

Oh boy. The big camp plans are be- ginning to rise with the sap in the trees. Camp Andrews is to be a reality. The camp committee has now definitely de- cided on the permanent camp site and work of improvement will begin at once. A big mess hall is to be built with a stage in one end for camp fire" stunts in bad weather and any troop may now prepare to build a troop cabin at any time. The dam to impound water for the swimming hole will be ready in am . pie time as will also the athletic field and the hippodrome.' Gus has signed up for the coming season and says that this year he expects to construct his pies four stories high instead of three as heretofore. The camp will open the Saturday after school closes with no ad- vance in price. notwithstanding the big advance in prices since last year. Camp will remain open two weeks or as much longer as there is a sufficient demand flor it. Hundreds of scouts will await the opening day with much more eager ness than their dads used to watch for circus day.

Land Speculation in Washington

William Kent in the Yale Review.
 Washington is neither a producer, nor a distributor. It is merely the seat of the federal government. Since the time or it's founder it has been subject to land speculation. It is stated that the capitol faced what was to be the future city, but that forehanded people obtained the high land to the east and placed upon it such values that the population crawled around behind the capitol into the swampS of the Potomac. Then down through more recent years of land specu- lation, largely at federal expense, great arteral streets have been forced out into the country, often as real estate projects. For well over 100 years successive gener- ations of spectators have carried away the proceeds derived from the need of others, and there seems no end to the story. Let us suppose that fee simple title with it's speculative possibilities, had new CT been granted in the city of Washing ton. Let us suppose that as fast as peo- pie desired to put up dwellings, they had been permitted to do so under reason able leases, perpetual if you choose, on proper conditions, and in specified places. Washington would then have had an or derly growth.

There is an old and trite saying that limitation is the sincerest form of flat tery,'' and in that connection one of those things not generally known is that the wearing of spats originated as a compliment to the kilted regiments who wore them in the Indian mutiny.
