circumstances.
The records are full Of cases Of
reporters aud editors who have
defied the courts to compel them
to reveal from whom they got
the news pertinent to the inquiry
and in each case public sympathy
has supported their scrup1es.
Sometimes, as in the case OF
the three Washington reporters,
they have had to pay the penalty
of their loyalty to principle.
Quite as often, however, the court,
either tacitly or openly, has re-
Spected the logic Of their plea,
regardless Of its lack Of legal
standing, and allowed the matter
to drop.
One is reminded Of an instance
Of the sort that occurred in Ala
bama in April of this year. Harry
c. Frye, assistant managing editor
OF the Birmingham Age-Herald,
had been commanded by the cir
cult court to reveal to the Grand
Jury Of jefferson county the atl-
thority for certain news stories in
his paper.
After refusing to do so he made
an appeal to the Grand Jury, cit

Cites Maryland Law
It must be evident to the most
casual reader that much of the
information of public value a
newspaper prints is obtained from
confidential sources; that unless
the reporter can protect his news
sources from the consequences of
publicity his usefulness to his
paper and his community is
seriously impaired.
At least one State in the Union
recognizes his privilege, in this
respect. Maryland, ever jealous
of the freedom of the press,
passed a law in 1895 which
reads: mo person engaged In.
connected with or employed on a
newspaper or journal shall be
compelled to disclose, in any legal
proceedings or trial or before any
committee of the legislature or
elsewhere, the source Of any in
formation procured or obtained
by him for and published in the

Favored BY Breaks
The Democrats plan to keep
their skirts clear, and they are
exceedinginly hopeful.
Favored anyway by the usual
backswing Of the pendulum in
off-year elections, their hopes of
gaining control Of Congress next
year have been further encour-
aged by the serious split in the
Republican party in the Senate,
and by the evidence they profess
to see Of the end Of the boom
times the country has witnessed
ever since the Coolidge bull mar
ket" of 1925.
The Republican Senate split Is
serious. Even the Republicans
themselves admit that.
The western insurgents are
talking Of deposing Senator
Moses (R.) Of New Hampshire, as
chairman Of the committee which
is to conduct the general Repub-
lican campaign, and the feeling
on both sides Is deep and bitter.
There are three Republican
groups in THE Senate today. all
warning with each other - the
Western insurgents, who have
coaleSced with the Democrats in
the tariff fight, headed by Norris
OF Nebraska, and Boral1 of Idaho:
the "old guard" contingent,
headed by Moses and Reed of
PennSylvania, and the new
guard" Of regulars, recently
elected, headed by Vandenberg of
Michigan, and Hastings Of Della

way.
