NEWSPAPERS AND COURTS.
“Every person lias (he right to
publish his understanding of
what a court, has decided and to
differ with the court as to what
the law is and also to criticize the
law, as long, at least, as the ci
tation does not attempt to im
pugn the motives of the court or
to charge corruption or infamy
and thereby attempt to bring our
courts into disrepute.”
So says the commissioner of
the Missouri Supreme Court in
his findings in the contempt pro
ceedings against Colonel W. R.
Nelson, publisher of the Kansas
City Star. The case followed a
publication in Colonel Nelson’s
newspaper regarding the action of
Judge Guthrie of Kansas City,
who had refused to dismiss a
divorce case until the attorney’s
fees were paid, although tin* cou
ple involved had asked him to do
so. The Star published these
facts, and Judge Guthrie, evi
dently pnder the impression that
some peculiar sanctity edges the
acts of a court; had Colonel Nel
son cited for contempt. The col
onel, who has been lighting the
battles of the people of his city
and state for a lifetime, appeal
ed, and the findings followed.
Any other finding by the court
would have been unjust add un
fair. The right of a newspaper to
comments upon the acts of public
officials should he umiueslioncd.
ft is one of Hie protections fur
nished tile people who do not have
time fir facilities for invesligat
ink the conduct of their public
servants, it is not only the right, j
but the duly of t ho newspaper toj
present the facts clearly, fearless- ;
ly and candidly. That is a part
of the public serf ire for which I lie
newspaper is paid by public sup
port .
