Editor Must Have Right to Tell His Views

The Tennessee Senate has just
passed a bill, which has yet to be
passed by the House and signed
by the governor before it becomes
law, but which would provide severe
for any editor or pub
Usher in whose editorial columns
appear an "untruth."
Publication of such an "untruth,"
the bill specifies, shall be deemed
to have been done knowingly, will
fully, and with the intention to
harm or destroy the character of the
person or persons affected"
Besides payment of a fine, the
bill provides that the offending
executive is to be barred
for life from acting as editor or
publisher on any newspaper in the
state.
The measure in question is the
brain-child of Chattanooga lawyer.

has been the target of

ANOTHER FORWARD STEP
FOR BUSINESS HERE

Ell Centre merchants will observe an
other Dollar Day on April 3. In the in
terest OF Imperial Valley, no less than
in the interest of Ell Centro, every out
standing merchandising establishment
in the city vii cooperate.
Ell Centre is, undeniably, the business
center if Imperial Valley, the industrial
hub of one of the nations greatest agri-
cultural areas. 1t is not in a selfish mood
that Ell Centre seeks continued growth
and greater prosperity, for with such
4 growth and prosperity the county's CAPT
tai city can do more to assure the growth
and development of the rest of Imperial
Valley. Without the rest of the valley,
El Centre would not exist. The prosper
ity of the whole is the assurance of
prosperity for Ell Centre.
The valley needs a strong, prosperous
city-and fate has given Ell Centro that
position Anything strengthening that
position will react to the benefit of every
individual in the valley.
The next Dollar Day, April 3, will be
another step forward for FL Centro and
Imperial Valley in the business lime
iixht.

OVER THE TOP
FOR THE RED CROSS

Ell Centre is ''over the top" in its drive
for Red Cross flood relief funds. That
is, Ell Centrans have contributed the
quota set for them toward relief of suf-
fering and privation in the path of the
disastrous Ohio and Mississippi river
flood. But the quota was only $1,000.
We should not stop there.
Suffering knows no quota. Privation
knows no limit. Tragedy can be bound
less, and it has been in the stricken flood
region. 1t is no fault of those farmers,
laborers, business men = city dwellers
and rural residents alike-that two riv-
ers have sent death and destruction
down upon them. 1t is not their fault
that their earthly possessions have been
swept away overnight, that their food
supplies have been lost, that disease
stalks their streets.
1t is not their fault any more than 1t
is ours. They cannot do anything about
it. We can. In the face of calamity
that makes driftwood of human beings.
it is the responsibility of humanity to
help. No quota can be set to measure
humanity, and none should be allowed
to hinder its blessings.
Ell Centro has passed its flood relief
quota, but that should only be another
reason for setting a higher quota. 1t is
not time to Stop giving

For a proper perspective on the
situation, it is necessary only to
refer again to the recent case of
that critical editor of California
weekly newspaper.
In late November of last year if
you will remember, this gentleman
issued in his editorial columns 1
vituperative attack on no less
parsonage than President Roosevelt.
Among other things, he painted
the nations No. man as "a smiling
Ihypocrite,' "a mountebank of the
lowest order" and "the biggest false
alarm since the creation of man."
An irate reader Immediately took
up the cudgel in defense of the
president, filed complaint, and
had the editor arrested on charge
of criminal libel.

And this, as cannot be stressed
too often, is as it should be. If the
American variety of press freedom
is not to be anemic, or the hollow
mockery that exists in certain die
tatorships, an editor must have the
liberty of expressing his opinion of
public officials, however vigorous
that opinion may be.
To prevent him from being un-
fair, there are stringent libel laws.
But if he is to be trussed by other
measures, trumped up by vengeful
public officials, press freedom and,
consequently, the public, suffers.
If Senator Morgan feels that he
has been treated unfairly. it is to
be regretted; but if the American
tradition of liberty is to remain un-
tainted, an editor must have the
right to say what he thinks.
