PRESS CRITICISMS

In this land Of the free i' scclns rather ridiculous that it would re l Quirc the decision of state su- prcmc court 10 uphold inc right of newspaper 10 criticize a public of rlciaI. But this happened in Mis- souri, where even sheriff has to be shown.
 1t appears that the editor Of the Howell County Gazette. of West Plains, Mo-, back in 19.4, declared in his publication that moonshinr liquor and intoxicated persons were making their appearance at reli- sious rcNivals and picnics in the county If the officials of the coun- ty did not investigate and take ap- propriate action, the editor continu- cd, the people of Howell county would get change in November"
 Nothing mildcr was ev,r written To have intoxicated persons making nuisance of themselves at revival meetings, we'll say, justified the statement of inc editor. Whether he favored prohibition We do not know: anyhow. even ''pronouncod wet" might take the stand that trunks had no business musSiug up religious gatherings.
 Comes the sheriff out Of hiding and takes umbragc" at the article. Strange 10 say. a jury gave him q verdict of $500, and the district court of appeals affirmed the yer dict of the jury: Hut the fighting editor was not paying out any $500 without going the limit When he appealed to the state supreme court ho got the satisfaction he should have received in the first place.
 'hHN'H lO what lilt supreme court stated, too:
 "The plaintiff Ghc shcrifD bears the burden to show the falsity of the article, and the presence of eX- press malice"
 This is a good law. It's been the common jaw in Anglo Saxon coun- tries ever since printing presses did their stuff. If an aggrieved party cannot prove the falsity of a print i ice, he ought not to have even d toc-hold in q court of law.
