Freedom of spfn-h ;unt I'l'ccdoin of press nrc the hiil
wnrks of American liberty. (Vilicism of delinquent ul
lu; officials is part of the recognized duty of newspapers.
Altuse of power ly t hose cut rusted with it, use of t lie strong
arm of the law by those empowered to enforce it to grat
ify petty spite, to salve wounded pride, to smooth rum
pled feathers, are not contcnanced outside of Jackson coun
ty, hence the vindication of the editor of this paper by
the supreme court of Oregon.
Justice as has been administered by grand juries of
Jackson county is cock-eyed. One grand jury finds no
crime in a murderous assault with an ax. but discovers a
heinous crime in the criticism of its own delinquency, and
brings about an outrageous arrest, has the critic pulled off
a train and summarily thrown into a filthy jail in a st range
city and deined all courtesies in order to humiliate him.
Another grand jury exonerates a thug, who publicly as
saulted the editor, because mouths before he had exposed
the thug's torture of prisoners entrusted to him as a pub
lic official.
Hut all things, even fair play, come to thoe who fight
strenuously enough despite grand juries who think they
are surrounded with that ancient and obsolete prerogative
of infallibility. It was left to the supreme curt to say
whether justice was administered in I'utnam's case with
out malice and vimlictiveness, and the court's decision
speaks for itself. J ust ice, though leaden-footed, has found
her way through the meandering maze of the law.
The Tribune purposes in the future, as it has in the
past, to turn on the light whenever or wherever thire is
malfeasance in office and neither jail, nor tine, nor as
saults upon its editor, will swerve it from its course. In
morals, as in medicine, there is no antiseptic like the sun
light id' Almighty (Jod."
The freedom of the press is the freedom f the people.
and the vigilance of the press, the vigilance id' the people
Xo public official can safely be elevated above fair eriti
cism.
