Subscription Rates ... 32.90 Six months ............................. .... 1.00 Three months -- ---------------- __ .75 Payable in advance - ---- ---- FREEDOM OF THE PRESS The brief in he appeal taken by Dr. R. M. Brumfield, from the judg ment of the circuit court, and pre pared by the attorneys of the de fendant, Rice and Orcutt, haB been filed with the Supreme Court, set ting forth alleged errors of the low er court in the trial of the case. One of the contentions of the defense is to the effect that the press of the state aroused and created prejudice and hatred against the defendant. The brief opens with a review of the case, giving the history of the case -and the outstanding features of the crime. It then goes on with an indictment of the press, claim ing that the newspapers and the press throughout the state began a course of defamatory prosecution and that the articles appearing in the newspapers of the state greatly inflamed the public mind against the defandant. The defense makes a strong play, in its brief, upon the alleged vigorous and vicious prose cution of the defendant by the newspapers and particularly refers to various articles, claiming that such articles "aroused and created a great prejudice and hatred among the people” of the state, and particularly the people of Douglas county. The brief states that: "All of the jurors summoned had read the newspaper articles hereinbefore re ferred to and many others and all had formed opinions in regard to the case based largely upon having read the testimony given before the coroner’s jury and the grand jury.” The defense alleges that the court erred in overrulllng the var ious motions to squash the Indict ment, for a change of venue, to ar- i eat judgment, tor a new trial and other technical motions; that the court erred in over-ruling the de fendant's challenges of certain jur ors and that the court erred in giv ing certain Instructions and In not giving others. In commenting upon the court's denial of a change of venue the de fense again attacks the press which it claims stirred up a mob feeling such as "provoked the unrighteous and cowardly judgment of Pilate who sought to wash his hands of his own blood guiltiness, and yet delivered the Naiarene for cruci- fixtion." The brief contains ex cerpts of newspaper articles and ed itorials, published, it Is claimed, with a view of prejudicing the pub lic mind. The people are privileged to know the testimony given before a coron er’s or grand jury; and the news papers have the privilege of giving to the people the knowledge of all details leading up to the commis sion of a crime. The most effective method of combating crime Is to give it publicity. In many instanc es the newspapers have ferreted out the commissions of crimes and brought the criminals to justice. There is no surer way of strang ling justice than to stifle a free and outspoken press. The press is an institution; one of the greatest agencies for good in the world. And the Constitution of the United States still allows a newspaper to voice Its opinion. Yet. Judging from the remarks contained In a brief the noose would be slipped over the head of the press, rather than around the neck of a convicted murderer. RAPID FIRE REPARTEE Hurrah! The Headlight found the Herald's goat! Have you noticed how Important the Headlight has become? Our worthy competitor has conceded tn the Headlight the most Important position In a newspaper; the right hand double column on the front page. THANKS TO THE HERALD FOR ACKNOWLEDGING OUR IM PORTANCE; we, ourselves, didn't know that we amounted to so much. But It always takes your competitors to point out to you your own worth. Hero comes the Herald with a glowing four column 4* point head "Harald Out-Distances All Local Competition." That head gave us the heartiest laugh we have enjoy ed for months. In the first paragraph the Herald s-renkr about something being "the life blood of any newspaper—” What the Herald means, or what It is talking about we don't know. We hare^consulted Webster and all other dictionaries but are unable to find any word that is spelled 'Adversiting'. Who 1 b Adver? We have heard of animals sitting, and i men sitting, and women sitting, 1 but we have never heard of Adver I sitting. Who is she? And what in 1 the world has her sitting to do with I a newspaper? Our worthy contemporary states 1 that this sitting proposition is "the life blood of any newspaper or peridical—” What in the world is a “peridical”? We have ransacked all . the dictionaries, both modern and obsolete, in an effort to find the meaning of that word, but we have given it up. And our contemporary continues, speaking of these two things, "is generally conceded to re flect that newspaper’s standing and stability.” We are willing to con cede all that to the Herald and are thankful that it doesn’t reflect the Headlight’s standing and stability. In the second paragraph we read: "The Herald the past several months has out-distanced all com petition and has taken it's place at the head of the procession by sheer aggressiveness and the exhibition of an ability to ‘do things' such as are expected of any WIDE-AWAKE, MODERN desemlnator of news." Again the Herald haB the best of the Headlight for we certainly don’t know what a ‘desemlnator’ 1 b . I s it something good to eat? If it is we are for it; we are very fond of good eats. It may be that we don’t know the English language, there fore we ask the Herald to please tell us what a “WIDE-AWAKE, MOD ERN deseminator’’ really ii? Is It p web-foot? Has it four feet or only two? In the third paragraph we read: "Indeed the Herald 1 b far out in front and gaining with each issue, both in advertising and circula tion.” Let us consider the question of circulation first. It is our opin ion that a few months ago when the county printing was awarded, the Herald conceded the largest cir culation to the Headlight. We also notice that our worthy competitor has discontinued the use of the phrase: "Largest circulation of any paper in Tillamook County.” Has the Herald really become convinced that the Headlight has the larger circulation? We read on: "It’s news columns are newsy—and clean—it’s make up attractive—” That makes us laugh! It is the opinion that the dreBH of the Herald has been a fac simile of the Headlight. It appears as if the dress and features of the Herald first appeared in the Head light. PEOPLE’S COLUMN To he Editor: - Thought I would write a few’ lines and let you know that we are still alive. We are having some visit in California. The freeze did untold damage to the fruits in this state. Rome orchards are entirely killed. It has done great damage to the lemon crop more so than the oranges. We attended the Orange Show at San Bernadlno this weeir which was a beautiful sight. All kinds of citrus fruits were exhibit ed, each county vieing for the beHt and it sure was fine. We drifted from Rialto over to Riverside and through the Magnolia drive through the Santa Anna Canyon to Anahim thence to Santa Anna, (whilst there we visited some old friendB who did not remember us at first then all ut once it dawned upon them who we were, they were surprised as they had lost all track of us), then we went to Garden Grove, thence back to Anahim, then over to the Sante Fe oil field and saw the burn ing gusher. This Is the second one in two weeks that has burned. It belongs to the Union Oil people. You can’t imagine what an awful waste until you see one burning. We have picked and delivered 5000 boxes of oranges off the place here since I dime, taken 1340 boxes out in one day. Yours truly was sure tired at night from juggling those boxes as they weigh about 65 pounds to the box und must be handled three times each. My folks were fortunate in- aannieh as these oranges weren't hurt. There Is no Tillamook cheese here and we nre 65 miles east of l.os Angeles. We had a beautiful trip on our way down. Stopped off at Forest Grove nnd Portland for a few days. Got out of Portland at 9 o’clock Sunday, Jan. 29. Stop ped over night at Grants Pass, which town we found to be a very beautiful place. Out of Gran't Pass ut 7: SO a. m., Jan. 30. w hich gave us a daylight ride over the Shorty. Stopped over night at Dunsmuir, Calif (Found thia to be a smoky, dirty, poorly kept town). Arrived at Sacranento 3:45 p. m. and at ?x»dl at 5:00 p m. Stopped over night with friends and met with quite a surprise. Our host and hostess had Invited a lot of our eastern friends whom wc did not know were In the west and would say It was a moat agreeable surprise. Was taken around the surrounding country, thousands and thousands of acres of vineyards. My host at Lodi has 51 acres of vineyard for which he was offered !3Oo cash per acre for this crop. Left Lodi 5:00 p. m. Feb. 1st arriving Loa Angeles* at 8:15 a. m. Met there by Che folks and we drove out in an auto to Rl- j alto.
