and the postmaster generals recent seizure of the cable system after the
armistce had been signed have undoubtedly caused much uncertainty and
to interfere with the freedom of the press. The defendants in the present
case commended throughout for a strict observance OF the freedom if the
press guarantees of both the state and the federal constitution. Upon the
argument Of the case before the supreme court Herbert d. Mason, special
counsel for the defendant, said:
mo sane person claims license Of the press, but by the same token, no
sane person forswears liberty OF the press. The fact probably is that the
courts are better protected and less harassed than they ever were before and
at the same time freedom of the press never before reached the height that it
has now attained"
In view of this feature Of the cas- the courts recognition o. the freedom
Of the press against guarantees combined with the necessity Of proper respect
for the courts will be Of especial interest Among other things Judge Holo
mans opinion n this point reads:
"Under our theory of government the right OF freedoA Of speech and of
the press are essential to public welfare, and while the freedom 81 the press
Ses not mean the license to indulge in malicious, false ora hwaraHtsd at
aeks yet the force Of public opinion has greatly restrained the courts In the
sqercise Of the power to punish for making disrespectful or Injurious remarks
Gerry often under the puse Of a guaranty Of freedom tho press INDUCES In
nse and unwarranted criticisms but when these criticisms are directed at a
Judge, his remedy Is the same is that given to private citizens, unless, al we
have said, they cncrcach upon the rights Of lttsants and tend to obstruet ls.
