S. circuit judge, in an address before the American riticism of the Federal Judiciary,” said: “The opportunity freely and publicly to criticise judicial action is of vastly more importance to the body politic than the immunity of courts and judges from unjust aspersions and attack. * * * Non- professional criticism also is by no means without its uses, even if accompanied, as it often is, by a direct attack upon the judicial fairness and motives of the occupants of the bench; for, if the law is but the essence of common sense, the protest of many average men may evidence a defect in a judicial conclusion, though based on the nicest legal reasoning and profoundest learning.” ad what U.S. Circuit Judge Pritchard said (In re & N.C. R. 131 Federal Reporter, page 95 some aft ociation on “Recent ¢ Then, too; re ler v. Atlantic and 99): “If Judges charged with the administration of the law are not to be-criticised on account of their official conduct, the liberty of the press is abridged and the rights of individuals imperiled. While all citizens should entertain due respect for the courts of the land, it does not follow that editors and public speakers are to refrain from legitimate criticism of the acts of any tribunal. Such criticiem should be invited by public officials, in order that the people may fully unserstand what is bei done by those who are acting as th agents in the administration of the jaw. Public questions are usually settled in the right way, and the fact that such Is the case is due in a large measure to their Tree and untrammeied discussion by the press of the country. The courts are constituted for the pur- pore of protecting the rights and liberties of the individual, and the enactment of any law which gives a judge the power to prevent the free and unrestrained discussion of questions which may come before the court for adjudication would in many instances defeat the very object for which the courts were established.” Daniels, Cuys and { 9a res & opment years is the s of the radical awakening and pro< gnition of the importance of courts rece Phe “interests’ nterests” long ago recognized this fact, and have acted accordingly. organized a SYSTEM, whereby they couldn't lose out in the AW.
