of Oregon declare unequi vocally that in
all actions for criminal libel the truth

that ."nun acres have already been set

Kvery once in a while some polit
ical ring in a community attempts to
stifle free s h. In a small city like
Medford men come to believe that crit
icism of any of their official acts is an
I injury to the community. If an editor
cannm can down a grainl or petit jury,
a judge, sheriff, mayor, railroad presi
dent or any other public body or offi
cial for public acts, then it is high
time the law was changed. Some years
ligo the editor of the San Prnncisco
Star was jailed and fined for criticLs
big :i manifi M unjust and probably
venal decision. The judge criticised
was hi lust If t he pn tecutor ami jury
before whom the editor was tried. Tin !
