A comic opera as only the famous
Gilbert and Sullivan team of COM
posers could turn out at their best
is on schedule at the New Hanover

rector Albert Brown stated yester-
day, to handle a packed house for

"The Pirates of PenZance" tells
the story of ar apprentice pirate
who was a%pprenticed to a gang of
bold buccaneers by mistake. But so
strong (and even ridiculously fun
N.Y. is his sense of duty that he
works out his time, but he promises
over he will devote his life to the
determination of his tribe.
In the meantime his guardian, a
lady of At summers, makes violent
love to him, promising him that she
is the fairest lady in the land. Our
hero, not so sure about this, denies
her with the statement that surely
there must be fairer and younger
girls than she.
When there arrives upon the
scene the very model Of a modern
major general with a number of
lovely daughters the complication
becomes enhanced.

Free Press Requires
Comment on Cases,
High Court Is Told
Discussion Before Final
Settlement Is in National
Interest, Publishers Hold
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association told the Supreme
Court yesterday that the national
interest requires that newspapers be
permitted to comment on court cases
prior to final settlement.
1t urged in a brief that the tri-
bunal reverse the contempt of court
conviction of the Los Angeles Times
growing out of the publication of
editorials in 1887 and 1888 concern
ing two labor cases and the convic-
ton of woman politician.
I'm this case" the brief asserted,
much more is at stake than the in
dividual interest of a newspaper
publisher in giving expression to his
opinions on matters deemed by him
to be of vital public Importance.
Freedom of the press is not
special privilege accorded to a par
ticular class. 1t reflects q general
social interest.
Behind it lies the right Of the
people to have information and

gathered and disseminated through
the medium of the press.
The protection of the press,
therefore, transcends mere individ-
ual rights"
The association argued that news
papers should not be punished unless
there was clear and present
danger" of injury. 1t said Califor-
MIA courts had held punishment was
required if there was reasonable
tendency" in this direction.
ut is respectfully urged" the brief
continued, that the clear and pres
ent danger test be adopted as the
standard best suited to the full pres
ervation of the cherished liberty of a
free press without sacrifice of any
part of the equally important right
of fearless. impartial and indie
pendent judiciary"

sECREST'S OUTSTANDING RECORD

The vote Congressman Robert 7. Secrest poll
ed in the election last week is really outstanding
Wendell Willkie carried the district by l44l3
and Bricker for governor had majority OF IL 9OO
Secrest's majority was better than 10000. OF the
FIVE times Mr. Secrest has made the race, Morgan
county has furnished the candidate three times
Guernsey and Washington counties, each once
Not one of his opponents has come within 3,OOO
votes of defeating him. Such record IN SINH
lar Republican stronghold, we believe, cannot be
duplicated any place in the country. Outside OF
Vic Donahey, Ohio has never had better vote
getter Mr. Secrest has had but limited amount
of money to put in his campaigns What has put
him across is his record. During his campaigns,
which are always clean, he makes no promises
that he does not fulfll-n fact he gives more than
he promises. No congressional district is more
ably represented in the United States congress
than ours and Mr.. Secrest's services not only
outstanding in Ohio, but throughout the nation
as well.
What of Mr.. Secrest's future? He is yet a
young man. His record, his ability, the cont1-
dence the people have in him, should entltle him
to still higher honors In two years Ohio Demo

TAX ISSUES ALL CARRIED

At the election last week the voters approved
all the special issues voted in several places, call
ing for an increase in rate to raise money tor
specific purposes. The voters understood these
special issues mean they will have to pay more
taxes. But they are willing to dig down deeper
for taxes, when they understand that the extra
money, is necessary for the general good; There
are times when special tax levies have been de-
feated, which perhaps should have passed, but in
most instances they were defeated because they
were not understood, and voters go largely the
theory that if they don't understand proposition,
to vote against it, and they can't be blamed for
that.
The carrying of these special issues last week
is proof that taxpayers consider something more
than how much money they can keep in their
pockets They demonstrate that they willing,
with their money, to back worthwhile propo-
sitions.
