In that city, as the news columns of The Daily Tribune have told, an editor, E. T. Leech of the Memphis Press, is about to spend ten days in jail for publishing an editorial attack on political cor- ruption. Tooled Leech’s editorial named no person, referred to no judicial case; yet a local judge, Israel Peres, understood it as reflecting on him, and ordered the editor’s arrest and conviction on a charge of con- tempt of court, This is one of a long series of judicial attempts to muzzle newspapers, and in some respects it is the most glaring of any. We recommend to con- gress an immediate investigation of such judicial tyranny and terrorization. Many of our readers will recall the nationwide interest that was aroused back in 1913 by the at- tempt of a Kansas City judge to railroad the fa- mous William R. Nelson, 76-year-old editor of the Kansas City Star, to jail, for printing the news that this judge had permitted attorney’s fees to take precedence over alimony in a divorce suit. Many will recall the attempt to place Editor Charles H. Clogston of Terre Haute, Ind., in jail for exposing the crookedness of a political gang many of whose members in and out of office after- ward served richly deserved terms in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. Many will remember the fine that was levied on Editor Negley D. Cochran of the Toledo News- Bee in 1914 for presuming to publish articles on the local street car situation while a case involv- ing the street car system was before the United States district court. : This Memphis case is as flagrant a case of judicial usurpation as the worst of the other three, It dates back to July, 1918. The people of Memphis and Shelby county, Tenn., were aroused by political conditions there. so tet SMARCK: TRIBUNE at ‘the Postatfice, Bismarck, N.

EDITORS | MADE RICH BY THE WAR “Made Rich by the War” runs a headline in the University of North Carolina News Letter. But the reader who looks for an excoriation of profiteers will be agreably disappointed. It is the whole state that has put money in its purse the past four years, and upon no small scale, either. Its $222,000,000 of savings, which include Liberty bonds, are no less than twelve times the amount it had in its stocking in 1915. The dividends on these savings are enough to pay off the state’s bdnded indebtedness in a single year. What is true of savings is true in some measure of indus- try . Since 1910 the state, while increasing its cotton by 200,000 bales, with an increase in the value of $50,000,000, has gone into the diversifica- tion of crops to the extent of nearly doubling its total of grain. With less labor on its farms than it had'seen in half a century, last year it produced the largest tobacco crop in its history and more than double what it was raising less than ten years ago. Inaword: “Weare rich in North Carolina, as Tarheels count.riches—richer than we ever were before in all our lives. We worked harder, saved more, and moved forward faster during the war than in any half century of our history hereto- fore.”—-New York Post. ? ‘ “DOES IT WORK?” Does it work? The Tribune has been asking that question regarding the efect of prohibtion in Minneapolis, and has let daily statistics regarding arrests, cases A campaign was on, and judges, among other offi- cials, were to be elected the following month. Two tickets were in the field—one the gang ticket, and one a ticket supported by a citizens’ movement that aimed at driving the bosses from power, The Memphis Press and the Memphis Commer- cial-Appeal were supporting the citizens’ move- of drunkenness, number of inmates in the work- house and jail-‘now as compared with the like time last year speak for themselves, A casting up of these figures for 14 days yields a total of 359 arrests compared with 471 a year ago. The total of cases of arrest for drunkenness was 49, compared with 253 in 1918, The number ment—fighting for American democracy against a political despotism. On July 20, 1916, the Memphis Press printed an editorial headed “The Shame of It All,” which started off by saying “Right will ultimately tri- umph in Memphis,” which mentioned no judge and no case before any court, but which contained these paragraphs: “Even courts have been brought into disrepute, and judges have abandoned the principles of loyalty and integrity, have made a farce of the laws they swore to en- force, have dragged their own courts into the mire; have turned traitors to their friends and supporters and enemies to the principles they professed, because politi- + cians have laid their hands on them and forced them to do their bidding.” “It is a shameful thing to see a court dishonored and a man disgraced to serve the ends of political self-seekers.” There was no attempt in this editorial to in- fluence any court in any pending case. There was no reference to any court or to any pending case. There was no tendency to obstruct the administra- tion of justice. There was no likelihood of bring- ing a court into public contempt—UNLESS IT HAPPENED TO BE A CONTEMPTIBLE COURT. But Chancellor Peres, Chancellor Israel A. Peres, who happened to be a candidate for re- election—aboard the gang ticket—thought the editorial shoe fitted him, and so he put it on. He had just decided, in favor of the ruling political gang, a political case that kept the gang’s election commissioner in office. And this chancellor, or judge, had the editor of the Press cited before an associate judge for contempt of court. The editor was found guilty and sentenced to jail. He began serving his sentence yesterday. : This is A CLEAR CASE OF JUDICIAL Ty- RANNY. _ If judges can get away with despotic acts like this, freedom of the press is dead; and when free- of inmates in the workhouse had declined yester- day from 223 to 165 and of inmates in the county jail from 74 to 52. No newspaper in the country has been more vigorously opposed to compulsory national prohibi- tion than the New York World. The news editor of that paper has gone widely afield to discover what effect prohibition is having in the larger SHORTER HOURS OR LONGER HAIR OUR ALTERNATIVE Little Shavers of Bismarck De- clare 50 Cents Is None Too Much for Job Shorter hours and fifty cents for a haircut. + i This may be'the platform Bismarck barbers will strike on. They desire to have all shops closed at 6:30 p. m. and the price of haircuts advanced from forty cents. é There was some talk of going on a strike this week for these two points, but it is said that no action of this kind will’ be taken until next week, if then, Among the owners of shops here the sentiment is divided on the barbers’ proposals, but it is understood that the majority of them favor the earlier closing hour and the advance in the cost of cutting hair. Shop-Owner For It | A “My shop is behind the barbers in this movement,” said one prominent shop owner today. ‘The men are forced to stand on their feet a good portion of the-day and besides all of the work that is done after 6:30 in the evening, could just as well be done be- fore. = “The men desire the increase in the price of hair cuts because they work on a percentage basis. This increase is very slight when it is considered that the average man does not have have his hair cut more than once every two or three weeks. Ten cents more spread over that length of time would not mean very much and yet it adds considerably to the barbers’ income in meeting the high cost of living.” .. To Vote This Week The journeymen barbers will hold a meeting this week, it is understood, to take up the matter of walking out on strike next week for these two de- mands. It is hoped that all of the shop owners will agree to the requests cording to reports. The Barn Dance at Schebbler’s Farm, will be ‘held Aug. 6, in-} stead of Aug. 5, as it was pre- viously announced. CITY NEWS | ————— nn Baby Dies The few-days-old infant son of Mr. and Mrs. E. V.

It is probable that committees will be appointed by Capt. A. A. Jones, commander of the post for this purpose.
