WILL AID GERMAN FUND
(Salem Bureau of Tbe Journal.)
Salem, Or., Oct. 13. Editor J. H.
: Hosmer, of the Silverton Journal, who
is serving a sentence of 100 days in the
county Jail for libeling the Sisters of
,Mt. Angel convent, says he believes he
should be permitted to publish article
i In his paper without censorship of
Sheriff Esch.
"I prepared an article for publication
in the next week's issue of the Silver-
ton Journal soon after my arrival here
and turned It over to Sheriff Esch. He
read it over, and told me that I could
not have anything of that nature
transmitted from the county jail. I
question the right of the sheriff to
censor my articles. It Is my belief
that I have a right to send any articles
suitable for publication is toy paper."
Editor Hosmer had planned on edit
ing his paper from the county jail and
says he sheriff upset his calculations.
In order to follow the record of the
past, it would be necessary to write
vigorous articles.
"It seems like 70,000 - years since I
came to this Jail," said Hosmer today
through the bars. He had heard, how
ever, that his friends were actively at
work preparing petitions for his par
don and -forwarding them to Governor
West
At Governor West's office it was
stated that several petitions asking for
the release of Hosmer had been re
ceived during the past few days, but
no action had been taken.
Hosmer has been in jail SO days. He
refused to pay a fine of $200, electing
to serve sentence In jaiL
Sheriff Esch states that the articles
which he had refused to allow Hosmer
to send to tbe Silverton Journal were
full of vUliflcation and abuse and he
could not permit such matter to be sent
out by a man serving sentence and ful
fill the duties of bis office.
He says that he told Hosmer that he
could write articles temperate in tone
and he would forward them.
"Hosmer is treated the same as any
other prisoner serving sentence here,"
says Sheriff Esch. "There are roles
and regulations and they are followed."
