ent order Is it permissible for newspaper editorial to criticize an order of the court"
 Unfortunately such a question Is not likely to be settled on it's merits. seeing that the judge has or takes the right to issue an order for con- tempt of court and then proceeds to be judge, prosecutor and jury.
 If a charge of contempt of court were decided by a jury there IS no doubt that the defendant or defend- ants would get the best of the argu- ment nine times out of ten, If not oftener." But that isn't the way it is done.
 Of course, the present discussion hinges on the contempt of court proceedings of a Judge Walther of Cleveland against two newspaper editors for questioning his action in yielding an injunction to a race track owner against a sheriff who was en route to the track to close it up. The judges injunction was to re- strain the sheriff from interfering with the race track If the same be not in violation of the law"
 The editors forcefully called atten- ton to the fact that the injunction was an "andand-if injunction which is either monstrous or ridiculous-a bluff"
 It seems 10 us that the wording of the injunction gave to the sheriff much lceway in interpreting the law It also seems to us that the editors used rather strong language and rather unnecessarily; that adjectives are no fit substitute for reason and that had there been a little time taken for thought the editorial would have been couched in differ ent language. yet just as likely to have hit the bull's-eye of reason.
 On the other hand there is no req son for judge to be too touchy lN1 oI md Ioa ic only public servant, not the pub lies master And every time a judge lets fly a charge of contempt of court the court automatically re- duces itself in public estimation Citizens do not think a court or a judge is beyond criticism, and in pri- Nate conversation there is no lack of it.
 In the Cleveland case all the judge needed to do was to call the editors in a conference and discuss the mat ter in good spirit. Being sensible men, both editors and judge would have been the better for it and more re- spect and cooperation would have resulted in the future on both sides
 Contempt proceedings usually are the result of pique and punctured vanity.

THE SPEAKEASY BUSINESS

We have come to the conclusion that every budding author, play wright and magazine writer-not to mention able and not so able news paper eporters-know all about the ins and outs of the speakeasy trade. Nothing is so certain to locate the nearest speakeasy as an inquiry dis creetly placed with a newspaper fel- low, or some other writing person. according to the playwrights.
 It is getting so that even the drys are beginning to learn where the speakeasies are located. This must be the fault of the proprietors of these establishments who do not seem to know enough to keep their enterprises secret. Police depart ments usually receive communica- 1 tons from anonymous individuals who are eager to tell the police where to find the illegal dispensaries of bad cheer. But the police, realiz- ing more than ever that it requires evidence 10 convict anybody, are not overzealous to start anything they cannot finish with honor to them selves and good to the cause of temperance and prohibition. In this city they have instigated many a raid, but the net result of these en- terprises seems to have been that the speakeasies merely change hands more frequently; so fast, in fact, that the able and efficient tax assessing department can scarcely keep track of the owners for taya ton purposes. Then, adding to the confusion federal agents break loose every so often as happened here re- gently.
 It would be interesting to know just how many dozens of speak easies there are in New Britain; how many bootleggers; how many cus- toners of both. Even the police, we imagine, have no complete figures upon the subject; perhaps not ever reliable estimates. The only way tc judge the traffic is by the results ! which show up in police court al. most every day. But only smal ratio Of the results show up there
 Somebody once asked us whe1 prohibition is to start The prosecu tor himself said a few weeks gc that some people in the city do no seem to know of such thing.
 The police. bearing the brunt 0 the situation, are not to be envied They doubtless are doing the bes they know how. and are eager to q, even better when circumstance warrant, That they wilr ever be abl, 10 cope with the situation adeouatel
 is doubtful. It is not one Of thci making; they merely are victims O a condition.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

The victory of Time magazine in the criminal libel suit brought against it by Dr, Henry Hurd Rusby, dean of the College of Pharmacy of Columbia University, is important because of the unequivocal uphold ing of freedom of the press made by Magistrate Simpson, before whom the case was brought.
 It seemed that Time had stated that Dr. Rusby endorsed a Spanish drug as against the same product produced in Russia and Poland, and the magazine added that Dr. Dean and a certain drug importer were close friends, The article also con- tained the inference that the phy- slcian had received a consideration from Ambuster, whom the article described as having corner on the Spanish product.
 If untrue, this would reflect upon Dr, Dean, If true, it merely would he a question whether the magazine was Justified in making the state ments or inferences.
 The magistrate quoted the law which holds that the publication is justified when the matter charged as llbelous is true and was pub)ish- cd with good motives for justifjabIe ends"
 Ihen the magistrate made the fol- lowing straightforward statement,
 These are wise provisions of the laW' designed 10 preserve sarrod1v ana forever freedom of speech and i the power of the press to turn on the Searchlight of publicity in order to i hloIn public opinion expressive of me peoples will in matters invoIy- Ing the public veal.

 If is difficult to win such a hber suit because. as the magistrate SC clearly states, the safeguards for press freedom are so seldom lost sight of by court or jury. Sometime. the publication of the truth injures; but that leads to no recourse in libc suits, If that were the case publica. tons would be so hampered by lcga considerations that freedom of the press would be as far away as tho | millennium.

ERADICATING CRIME

They talk about crime and how 10 eradicate it, When criminals are caught, however, how is it they get loose so frequently?
 There are the cases of John T. Legs" Diamond, gunman, racketeer, and associate of Arnold Rothstein and for many years listed by the police as a man they would like to land permanently behind the bars;" and a fellow named Entratta, alias Green,
 Diamond is the man charged with murder in the Hotsy Totsy club in New York; Entratta is at large.
 The records of these two worthes are interesting, Neither has failed to be in the hands of the police on numerous occasions The trouble is, they did not remain in durance. Here are their records:
 Entratta, alias Green, described as another partner of the Hotsy Totsy club, was sentenced in 1923 to from five to Is years for robbery. He was arrested in 1927 for felonious as- sault but escaped with dismissal of the charge. Last year he was held for homicide and again was released.
 Diamond has been one of the po- lice departments most troublesome problems for years. He is only 35 years old, but has been arrested 20 times, the charges ranging all the way from disorderly conduct through robbery, burglary and homicide. He has served only one term, period in the reformatory in 1914 for burglary.
 The war on crime in this country will never amount to much until l crooks who have been arrested 20 times, on charges ranging all the way from robbery, burglary and homicide, receive more permanent attention.
