A MAZE OF PARADOXES, Townsend’s Description of ther‘lite‘of Newspaper Writers. The newspaper field is a wide one and fnll of roses and thorns. When you roast the preacher, the ungodly smile, when you roast the ungodly, the preacher smiles. If you roast the saloon man the teetotaler smiles; when you roast. the teetotaler’ the saloon man. sets.'em up. If you swear, you are a wicked man, and if you pray; you are a bypocrite. If you have an opinion you arecussed, and if you don’t have one you are a nonentity. The preacher knows one thing, and the saloon manor gambler knows another, but the journalist is expected to know everything: You are damned if you do’ and damned if you don't. The average newspaper man, however, is a philosopher, and pursues the even tenor of his ways undisturbed by the tune,” and secure in the confidence that all things are for the best.

A décision determining the right of appeal from the rules and. regulations of a fraternal order to the courts was filed by: the Supreme Court of this State some weeks ago. The plaintiff, one Lawson, ‘had been a member of Sacramento Chapter No. 8, Royal Arch Masons, Charges of unbecoming conduct were preferred against Lawson, and he applied for and obtained a restraining order enjoiming the committee from: proceeding with the trial. A demurrer was filed: and sustained in the Superior Court, whereupon Lawson appealed to the Supreme Court. In its decision the Court holds that Lawson, as a member of a regularly Morganized social organization, had taken an oath to abide by its constitu. tion, rules and regulations, a part of which provided for a form of trial and the investigation of charges preferred against any member. The Court holds that the courts have no standard by which to aetermine the propriety of the rule, and are not competent to exercise any function in the matter. “The Court further holds that Laws0n’a interest. in. the property of the organization is only incidental-to ‘his membership. ‘The judgment of. the lower court in sustaining the demurrer is therefore affirmed.

A MAZE OF PARADOXES, Townsend’s Description of ther‘lite‘of Newspaper Writers. The newspaper field is a wide one and fnll of roses and thorns. When you roast the preacher, the ungodly smile, when you roast the ungodly, the preacher smiles. If you roast the saloon man the teetotaler smiles; when you roast. the teetotaler’ the saloon man. sets.'em up. If you swear, you are a wicked man, and if you pray; you are a bypocrite. If you have an opinion you arecussed, and if you don’t have one you are a nonentity. The preacher knows one thing, and the saloon manor gambler knows another, but the journalist is expected to know everything: You are damned if you do’ and damned if you don't.

A décision determining the right of appeal from the rules and. regulations of a fraternal order to the courts was filed by: the Supreme Court of this State some weeks ago. The plaintiff, one Lawson, ‘had been a member of Sacramento Chapter No. 8, Royal Arch Masons, Charges of unbecoming conduct were preferred against Lawson, and he applied for and obtained a restraining order enjoiming the committee from: proceeding with the trial. A demurrer was filed: and sustained in the Superior Court, whereupon Lawson appealed to the Supreme Court. In its decision the Court holds that Lawson, as a member of a regularly Morganized social organization, had taken an oath to abide by its constitu. tion, rules and regulations, a part of which provided for a form of trial and the investigation of charges preferred against any member. The Court holds that the courts have no standard by which to aetermine the propriety of the rule, and are not competent to exercise any function in the matter. “The Court further holds that Laws0n’a interest. in. the property of the organization is only incidental-to ‘his membership. ‘The judgment of. the lower court in sustaining the demurrer is therefore affirmed.
