Are They Not Privileged?
lNew York Times

An Essex County Grand Jury has indicted the Superintendent of the New Jersey Anti Saloon League 'for transmitting libelous state ments to the newspapers" The alleged libeloua statements public assertions that three New Jeriey Judges involved in vice and gamtling at Newark" With no intention of commenting not yet adjudicated, it is permitted to ponder the general principle which. as t seems 10 us, should control in matters of this kinI As the Superintendent of the Indiana League has been disturbed in his liberties for Ia similar cause, philosophic and impartial con lsideraton of the rights and privileges of tin S justly yenerated power is all the becoming.
 Are not communications made by the League privileged? The innocence from merely tech nical point of view, of all the Judges whom it attacks in the course of It's supervision of all branches of the Government. which it is necessarily superior may be assumed They stand all too eody, on facts and the con clusions of the lower law. It is the business and pleasure of the League to posit that every defendant accused of violation of the Volstead or of a State Prohibition act must be guilty, From unfortunate conservatism the bench is unable to take this high ground In it's capac- lty as a Court of Impeachment the League draws up it's articles against offending Judges. Should it be interfered with i'll the discharge of this solemn duty?
 There is much talk of the freedom of the press, freedom of speech and so More precious, in the eyes of the righteous is the freedom of the League. That is about the only freedom it leaves to us of an inferior moral and political status It should be treasured. The life and liberty of prohbiionsts is of no account The pursuit of happiness should be restricted to the pursuit of rum and it's minions lby the League As old admirers of the temperate wisdom of it's and our lords, we must express our surprise and regret at the lnkewarmness of the Prohibition Bureau. It will ask the next Congress for money. Could there be
 better evidence that the rghtful directors of it's activities longer in charge?
 Where is the ancient ardor for the creation of special Federal Prohibition Courts? In every
 State in every district, such courts, presided over by District Judges assigned from the Anti Saloon Supreme Court would give every violator
 of the one supreme law short shrift This, we
 feel sure is the final solution of a problem all
 too delicately dealt with under the present sys-
 tenn These infalible courts would make super
 huous the Anti-Saoon Court of Impeachment,

during the seining season and to lay up sup ply of herring for following that period. At meeting of the fishermen, boat owners and seine boat operators it agreed that two seine boat outfits to be definitely allotted for the work, would supply bait at something less than S15 per ton while herring seining is per mitted and for S25 per ton after the senfng IS ended and live fish have been impounded
 This, so far as be learned, is the hrst practical step taken by those engaged in halibut fishing to insure themselves from lack Of bait next season. It should be successful because It is based on sound business practices. It displays a spirit of initiative which is encouraging and worthy of emulation in Alaska where the question of bait supplies is not less vexng than in British Columbia And 1t gives promise of being more eaicaeiors than some other lines of action sng- gested in that il is done by the fishermen for themselves rather than asked to be performed by some other agency.

lNew York WOrld.) Seven weeks ago, on Sept 25, desPatches from Asheville, N C., to the New York papers carried this report:
 The. Anti-Saloon League of America today invaded the Solid South for the declared purpose of stemming the ris- ing tide of sentiment for Gov. Smith for President. Concentrating it's attack in North Carolina, where the Smith forces have many friends both among political leaders and in the rank and file of the Democratic Party, the League has launched a three months Statewide campaign according to the Rev c. A Upchurch State Superintendent. The three months period set for this cam pagn will not end till Christmas morning But yesterday this report made by MT. F. Nicholson, Associate Superintendent of the Anti Saloon League in New York
 There is increasing talk among the Democratic leaders in the dry South to indicate feeling their part that for party reasons it might be just as well to let Gov. Smith get away with the Presidential nomination and let him go down to defeat at the general elec tion.
