NEW FISH FOOD
We have heard that bird?
catch and eat fish, but this week
a new story comes to us about a
bird-eating fish. Dr. Carl Phet
teplace says he was fishing up
the river near Jasper when he
hooked a large fat chub. Doctor
says he always throws the chubs
away, but this one interested"
him because he knew that the
chubs eat redside fry and the
fish looked like he had a n ex
ceptional meal. Perhaps this is
the reason or it maybe it was
his interest in surgery that caus
him to perform an operation or
the big chub. The doctor says
that among other things in the
fish’s stomach was a small bird.
This is food for thought as well
as for fishes—“How do fish
catch birds?”—Springfield News.

LBUSE OF CONTEMPT POWER £
Y
ii
From The America.! Press X
The sentencing of Louis Seitz- £
r, editor, and Carlton Matson, £
:hief editorial writer of the £
Cleveland Press, to jail by Judge
(Valt.hur because the Press cri- •:
icised editorially an injunc-j£
ion issued through Judge Wal- j £
;hur’s court is symptomatic of I £
he contempt of power ail over
j
he country. The injunction £
riticised enjoined the Sheriff j '£
:>f Cuyahoga county from inter- ! >;
t'ering with the operation of the j 3
50-c?11hd “contribution system” |
Di betting “if the same be not
in violation of the laws of Ohio.”
Newton D. Baker’s eloquent
plea in behalf of Mr. Seltzer and
Mr. Matson challenges the idea
that criticism of a judge’s ac
tions, when the matter is no «j
longer before the court, is in •]
contempt. His definition of the
rights of criticism is worth the j
attention of newspapermen *
Here it is: “The rights of Am- *
erican citizens are that they can ;
criticize their public officers to ;
their heart’s (content unless the ;
criticism of a judge in the per- '
fcrmance of a judicial duty ;
tends to obstruct the proper ]
performance of it.” !
Wherever a judge with a thick !
head and a thin hide sits upon ;
the bench the contempt power is ;
likely to be abused, particularly !
if the judge be one who bears '
his dignity as a tumblebug does '
his ball, finding it at times too '
much for him. It was gratify- •
ing to note that the newspapers
of the country stanchly defend- •
e.l the right of the Cleveland ■
Press to criticise the injunction
Unless it does fight for its right!
to speak when its criticism does j.
not obstruct justice, the press ; ■
will find its freedom encroached ■
upon continually by judges v/ho |
fear the criticism of an honest ’
newspaper above all else. The;
abuse of the contempt power is j
as real a menace to freedom of i
tlie press as anything that ex- !
ists today. j
We hope that, Mr. Seltzer and j
Mr. Matson will not have to pay i
the price of thirty days in jail I'
and a $500 fine in their fight for
the principle of justice. Their
appeal will not be heard for
some months yet. In any case,
•ve congratulate them on doing
their duty as newspapermen.

It is not the salary, hut the 1
service that stamps the hireling:, j
Whatever you dislike in anoth- j
er person, be sure to correct in •
yourself. jj
