What Judge Dearth Said

IN THE DELAWARE CIRCUIT COURT. JUNE 5, 1926 (Page 323, Civil Order Book 136) Special Order of the Court To Arthur Jones, Chief of Police, And the Sheriff of the County, Harry McAuley: We had a divorce case here this morning before the of Elenora G. Beloat, against Robert Beloat, and we find that this Robert Beloat has been gambling in Muncie. He has been gambling at the southwest corner of Walnut and Seymour streets at Arthur Stout's place. He has lost several dollars. He has been gambling at Pete Barlow’s at the Traction place. He has lost several dollars in the last few weeks. This has caused the separation of this man and woman. Mr. Walterhouse and myself got the man and woman to agree to live together this morning and she is going to take him back, and he has promised to quit gambling. I have had investigators to go into this and Thave paid them out of my own pocket. I find there is high gambling in Muncie and prostitution. I am saying to the chief of police, in a friendly way, and to the sheriff of thsi county, in a friendly way, uhat this court is going to make a special order that the chief of police and sheriff of Deiaw ire county, immea.aiely close up all gambling houses in the city of Munc.e and Delaware county and towns and ail prostitutes shall be run out of Muncie and if this is not done, the grand jury will be called in and the blame placed where it should be. The sheriff and police will go immediately from this court room and 1 notify each cigar store and pool room in Muncie that they must keep minors out of pool rooms. Art Siout has paid si mething like two thousand dollars to build rooms, with partitions and doors fixed. There is gambling going on across from this court house. The judge of this court only asks these officers to do their duty. I don’t know whether you know of these conditions or not. I have found this out particularly in the past two weeks. We are asking you to close them up today, and if not then the responsibility is going to be laid on somebody’s shoulders. That’s all.' It is because this is not the first woman here that has complained of their husbands losing money. I have had three different women in the last three weeks tell me their husbands had lost money through gambling, but they would not file affidavits. I am asking the prosecutor this morning to file affidavits against Art Stout and Pete Barlow and they are going to do it. I am going to ask you to tell the owner of every building to have these partitions and gambling dens torn out. If they don’t we are going to prosecute the landlords. I think that it is for the betterment of Muncie. We have good streets, good laws and good officers and we w r ant to have good morals. I am saying that in all kindness, but we want these cleaned up as soon as wn gan and we want them cleaned up for all time. The prostitutes are starting here. We have got some public houses, and I can tell you Mrs. Snyder has been having some trouble with our girls. The houses are running open all over Muncie and we want them closed.

Haves m plan UP TOCONGRESS Washington, Nov. 10,—With von* gresBional war clubs already lifted for a tax battle at the approaching short session of Congress, President Coolidge yesterday left his tax refund proposal to the mercy of the legislators with a suggestion r non-partisan consideratiob. The official spokesman at the White House declared the President would leave it entirely up to Congress if and how tax relief should be given at this time. Moreover, he said the executive ■ had not finally endorsed the program advanced by Secretary Mellon for a credit of about 12% per 39bt on next year’s income tax myments, rather than an immediate refund. He will talk with members of the House, where the legisation must originate, before fixing

Making Honesty Safe For the Newspapers

(World’s •Work.) A WRIT OR VERTfORARl sounds i&as't uninteresting and unintelligible to the layman. Vet one has been filed with the clerk of the Supreme Go art in Washington which, if granted, will call on that body to decide whether it is safe for a newspaper to tell the truth. It was in the reign of James I, about the time Shakespeare was writing his plays, that the English Star Chamber first fecorderi in full a. libel case, apparently basing its practice on the Roman Taw. Ever since then If bet. the publication of a statement that, makes the reader think worse rif its •sbhjoct, has been punishable at law. There has always bfkm need for protection against, the man who stretches the freedom of the printed word too far. However, this protection against the irresponsible and, malicious has often enough been overdone in the history of journalism. There was, for instance,-that famous old Brit-ish-Amerie.an dictum that “the greater the truth the great t the libel.” But that was changed as long ago as 1731, when John (Pete Zongor, publisher, editor and printer of the New York Weekly Journal!, sharply criticized his -Colonial governor for the autocracy and corruption of bis rule. Zeugcr was sued on this principle that if his criticism was true., be had grossly libelled Crosby, the governor. Informed of this, the.jury' rebelled. It announced to a startled court that it was £ojn£ t6 judge not duly the facts, but the law as well; •and that it found the pid.principle wrong. Zetrger was acquitted, and there was horn the modern principle that V«hlication of the truth, with good intentions, is a complete defense against libel proceedinifs. Now that principle has been challenged out in Muncie. Indiana. George Dale, editor of a county/ weekly, was arrested in 1923 on a charge of possessing and selling liquor. Later the indictment was dismissed by the very prosecutor who had obtained it ; hut meanwhile Dale had asserted in ah editorial that his arrest and indictment were a Ku Klux plot to discredit him, in which judge, jury, and police all had a part. ■ •For this the same judge, Clarence W. Dearth, found Dale guilty of contempt of court. Dale appealed to the Supreme Court.of Indiana, but it upheld his conviction, declining to heat his evidence on the ground that “the truth is no defense.” . It ,is to be hoped That the Federal Supreme Court will review The whole casp. Regardless; of whether Date’s editorial was fair criticism or the most scandalous libel—that has no bearing on the issue—it is time to assert that the truth is a (U'fehse whether told about a Colonial governor or an Indiana'judge.
