A Dangerous Decision,
WHEN a judge can enjoin the further pub-
’' lication of a paper whose views he does
not like, the freedom of the press will have
gone the way of a Pennsylvania miner’s free-
dom to unionize and to strike.
But that is what the Minnesota state su-
preme court says a judge in that state can
do. It has upheld a lower court in sustaining
an injunction against further publication of
the Minneapolis Saturday Press.
It is well, therefore, that the American
Civil Liberties Union has undertaken to appeal
the ’case to the United States Supreme Court,
"lest) it establish the dangerous precedent of
control of the press by injunction.”
It seems that Minnesota recently enacted
a law, the first of its kind in the country,
which provider that the courts may enjoin
the future publication of any paper deemed
"malicious, scandalous and defamatory.”
Should such a law stand it is evident that
the courts would at once become censors of
all papers. What is "malicious, scandalous
or defamatory" is a matter of opinion. If a
judge is a friend of a powerful politician or
official, who is attacked by a paper or cor-
ruption or incompetence, the judge wwould at
once, conclude that the material in the paper
. is "mallcious, defamatory and scandalous” and
order the paper closed over night.
And what judges will do in the way of
injunctions has already been sufficiently dem-
onstrated.
The Civil Liberties Union feels that the
present law which provides for punishing
proved libel after it is committed, is sufficient
control of the press.
The United States constitution, specifically
forbids legislation by congress, “abridging the
freedom of speech or of the press;” but it
will be argued by some that this is a limita-
tion only on Congress and does not prevent
a state, in its sovereign capacity, to abridge
any liberties its citizens permit it to.

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON.
“T'VE been married 30 years,” said a beauti-
- fully groomed and youthful looking woman,
not long since. "Just think, if I had had
children I might have been a grandmother!
Wouldn’t that be awful?"
. Here is, indeed, a typical example of what
this desperate attempt to be always young is
doing to women. A
This matron, wYe of 30 years, was actually
congratulating herself that she had had the
foresight to be childless.
She was a rather frail-looking shell of a .
woman, half a woman, really. Though there
were wrinkles in her face, at a distance she
would have passed for 30. Her clothes were
lovely, her hands white and soft. Her mind—I
but one shudders to think what her mind was
like—merely a jumble of social ambitions,
fears for old age, futile longings after small
insignificant things. She was a waxen woman
such as we see in show windows, simpering
and sweet.
Fortunately, her type is not common, and
yet, I say it with sadness, it is increasing.
Women who shirk all responsibility, who shirk
child-bearing, who shirk work. Women who
are possessed of such little souls that they are
ashamed of being grand mothers':
To cheer us up a bit after such sights, we
have her direct antithesis. Mrs. Lucy E. Wood-
head, aged 74, having reared a family, is pur-
suing advanced college " in a middle
western state. She is meeting old age, as it
should be met, with a "gallant spirit and an
effort to (keep her mind young. Her type,,
too, is increasing.. May God speed, the day

“Public Regulation”
PADIO listeners Thursday evening heard a
tv nice voice, with the merest tinge of an
English accent.
It was the voice of Samuel Insull, of Chi-
cago, who had been introduced to them as
"probably the biggest figure in the history of
American utilities, with the exception of
Thomas A. Edison," whose secretary Insull
once was.
Insull’s subject was "public utilities as field
for investment,” but be told a lot more than
that. •
His hearers heard that as a result of our
American policy of encouragement of individ-
. ual enterprise, our utilities serve more people
at less cost than anywhere else in the world.
Public Lregulation, they heard, operates to
prevent wildcatting or the issuance of watered
stock. The utilities have 5,000,000 direct in-
vistors, and banks and insurance companies
have large holdings of utility stocks, they
much.

When politics flivver, it is al-

to chicken salad as an issue.
It might have overlooked
the idea if 325 employes of
local hospitals had not sud-
denly become patients, but let
that pass.
History contains no its. The 1
325 employes ate chicken
salad, became sick, yelled for
the doctor and the doctor not
only named the salad as .re-
sponsible, but issued! a pro-
nouncement against its use in
summer.
Now Kansas City has plenty
to talk about, with the medi-
cal profession ranged on one
side and the chefs on the
other.

1 Haugen bill, that "Congress
delegated the final authority
to determine whether the act
should go Into effect, and how-
long it should remain In force,
to a body of officials for
whose existence there was no
constitutional warrant—-a dele-
gation to a body which can
not exist, of legislative power
which cannot be delegated.”
This measure was by the
highest legal authority de-
cared unconstitutional in a
number of its important
phases; and in addition to the
features that have been dis-
cussed and passed upon there

portant, and much more ab-
surd and unfair, than those al-
ready condemned and rejected.
