HAIL AND FAREWELL

IF all goes well, and thousands of news
/ paper readers throughout the coun-
try must hope that it will, the Lenz-
Culbertson contract bridge battle will
be thing of the past by the time this
is read.
It would be foolish perhaps, to hope
that the supporters OF the two systems
will abide by the outcome of the tourn-
ament and decide which Is the better
system Not even the sponsors and
participants in the tourney hoped or be-
lieved that it would. Discussions over
the relative merit of the force" and
Official" systems is something that we
will have to have with us for a long
time to come and will continue to furn-
ish food for much argument.
The tourney itself has decided moth
ing. 1t has shown, however, that the
"intelligensia' can be quite gas house
district" when it chooses. Provided one
accepts the two head figures in the tour
nament as representative of the intel
ligenSia
There has been continual display of
bad tempers pickering, and irasclblllty.
These might be condoned, however, for
the protracted sessions were enough to
get on anyone's nerves, not excepting the
super-lords of contract But the high
powered publicity halo, which surround
ed the tournament had cheapening ef-
feet.
The fourth estate, in great measure,
is to blame for this. The newspapers
ballyhooed the tournament for weeks be-
fore it began and have continued it
throughout the sessions, though weeks
ago it turned into horse-play on the part
of the scribes. They have had a good
time giving ironical and satirical ac-
counts of the sessions and the players.
Messrs. Lenz and Culbertson should
have been allowed to settle their little
difference in the peace and quiet of some
remote spot in the desert. Daily ac-
counts of the progress of their tourna-
ment have played havoc with the order
ly recording of the Manchurian war, the
dippy doings of congress, the depression
(pardon us, what used to be called de-
pression) and the various incidents of
the crime wave
We sound peeved at contract and
contractors" Perhaps so, but we will
give the tournament credit for one thing.
1t cut heavily into the "AllAmerican"
football selections, and for that, may
Lenz and Culbertson be praised.

A WORTHY FIGHT
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

NEWSPAPER workers throughout the
~ country are watching with consid-
cradle interest, the course of develop
ments in Kentucky, where a state judge
has barred representatives of a Tennes-
see newspaper from attending sessions
of "a trial in his court.
The Judge issued his decree, banning
from his court all representatives of the
Knoxville News-Sentinel in retaliation
for editorial comment appearing in the
paper on a previous trial in which the
Judge IN question presided.
In return the paper has asked for
prohibitory writ against the judge to
restrain him from enforcing his rule bar
ring the newsmen.
Counsel for the judge, who incident
ally are his own sons, assert that the
offending editorial was libelous and
slanderous and that the court has right
to protect itself against "contumacious
and contemptuous newspaper"
1t would appear to us that if the pa
per, in commenting on trial after a
verdict has been rendered, libeed and
slandered the judge, his redress is in the
courts where he can obtain the proper
satisfaction. He makes the claim that
he, personally, was libeled and SANDER
ed. If he was, he like any other citizen,
should seek his satisfaction through legal
means.
In high-handedly barring his court to
the newspapermen, we believe the Judge
is not acting within his province, and we
will be very much surprised if the high
~er court sustains his contention.
Granting that court, under proper
circumstances, has the right to bar news
men and anyone else from trial hear
ing, we do not believe that the present
circumstances are proper. The Judge is
seeking to use his office to satisfy per-
sonal peeve.
1t so happens that the offending paper
is one of chain with a splendid reputa-
tion for public service and standing high
in publishing circles.
In seeking to establish the right of a
newspaper to enjoy the fullest freedom
allowed it under the constitution of the
United States, the Knoxville News-Senti-
mel is not only doing a service to. every
newspaper in the country but is also do
ing great public service in seeking to
prevent the courts of the land from being
used for personalities.

American hopes, ran a good race
and managed to finish. Thereas

course.
The choices in the betting came
to grief in rapid succession, while

around the course shouted their
dismay. Heartbreak Hill and
