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
