A COMMENDABLE DECISION On April 19, the supreme court of the state of Illinois rendered and important decision upholding free speech and the freedon of the press, says the Deseret news. The case in question was tlv libel suit in which the City of Chicago sought to recover from the So far as it could be ascertained from reported .Chicago Tribune. cases, this is the first time that any court in the United States as to whether or not a municipality could be libeled. Action was brought against the Tribune for $10,000,000 fo s f ha-rule- , alleged libelous statements published by the newspaper in the gub ernatorial campaign of 1920, when the Tribune supported Johr Oglesby against Len Small, the city administration candidate. In rendering its opinion the court said: Since the peoph are sovereign and since the magistrates are servants of the people the magistrates can do wrong and the people have the fundamenta right to criticize them and to oppose their inefficiency and corrup tion so that they be displaced. It was further stated by the court that so long as critics of gov ernment refrained from advocating violence or the overthrow ol government, that every citizens has the right to criticize an inef ficient or corrupt government without fear of civil or criminal pro Human liberty cannot be secured unless there is freedon. secution. to express grievances. It is surprising that the court did not pass on the truth or fal sity of the statements made by the Tribune, and the inference is that even false statements may be made regarding a municipality without constituting a legal cause for action. This decision by the Illinois court is in the main in harmony Most preciou; with the spirit and best traditions of our country. The case in question was the of the press, says the Deseret News. in of America been the freedom of belief freedom has of the forms and of public utterance.

Friday, Miss Scorup left for Salt Lake, upon invitation from the State High School Inspector. Professor Coles and the Chairman of the committee chosen to outline high school studies, Professor Jensen. She has been asked to help outline the English courses for the next five years. All her life Miss Scorup has worked with young people; she has given her every effort to the task of developing the best in each student.

Until the hair is sufficiently long to cover the shame he must endure the crushing notice of a disfigured appearance. Fellow citizens is this the meaning of education? Is tlri.r the fruit of our taxes in support of a school which permits a barbarous practice to satisfy an unjust fad? I bolive in education and culture that leads toward a high and noble citizenship. It is my desire to do all within my power to help make the future generation better in every way than the present one. But I am not in favor of such coarse methods to obtain the end desired even though it might be called a harmless joke. Had the boy taken part in the meeting and sanctioned the measure no criticism should be made, but as it is I hold those who have the school in charge responsible even though my timely excuse in his behalf was ignored and a false apology given ort demand that my son continue in Telluride Power Co. |
