A Victory for Freedom

There could be only one just decision in the CleVe-
land Press contempt involving freedom OF the
uress That decision given Thursday by the
C,ryahoga county court Of appeals 1t reversed the
contempt Of court sentences imposed by Judge FRED
erick P walther on two editors OF the Press
Scrpps- Howard newspaper.
When the Press last July carried an edltorlal
criticisine Judge WaItter, he sentenced Louis B.
seltzer editor and Carlton K Matson, editorial
writer each to thirty days in jail and $500 hnes
The editorial questioned the judges action IN issuing
an Injunction designed to protect race track where
the contribution betting system was in USE from ralds
by the sheriff.
The higher court, In reversing Judge Walther
ruled that he should not have sat as trial judge In
the contempt case: He should have referred the case
to an associate and have given his statement as a
witness rather than as a Judge from the Dehch-
Having failed to observe that elementary prln-
cine Of Justice. it perhaps was not surprising that
Judge Walther should have handed down Judgment
which the higher court found to be "manfesty
against the weight Of evidence and contrary to law
and the penalty rneted out is in excess of that al
lowed by statute"
No argument is needed to show the danger Of the
contempt power of courts and the ease with which
that power can be abused.
When that power is miSuSed to strange or IN
timdate the free press, 1t becomes menace to the
principles on which this nation founded and for
which it exists In the words of Justice Vickery, who
wrote the opinion reversing Walther:
Public men always must remember that they
arc subject to criticism, and when public officer
does an unworthy act he can net expect other than
to be criticised by the press and by thinking people
Of the land and the less he says about it. the better
1t will be for him and for tie public.
I'VE live in an age Of pitless publicity. We live
in an age when freedom of speech and freedom OF
the press are paramount issues. People should be
allowed to say what they please and newspapers
should be allowed to print what they please always
making themselves liable under the law OF SANDER
or the law of libel and usually this is penalty enough
to keep persons from tranScending the bounds OF
decency and proper criticism
"a free people must have q free press. and must
have the right to speak freely their thoughts"
