years ago Peter Zenger publisher of the New York Cazette was imprisoned by the Royal Governor of the Colony of New because he dared to the Governor's actions in his newspaper A jury set Zenger free after he had been in jail for several days and declared it to be the right of very free man to speak and write his opinions freely on any subject even the Royal Governor From that day on the freedom of the press has been one of America's most traditions Numerous attempts have been made to place the newspapers of the nation under Governmental control Under tho infamous Alien Sedition Act at the beginning of the last century editors were for saving what they thought of those in authority and actions But so greatly was public opinion aroused by these high-handed proceedings that the very first amendment to the Constitution of the United Slates was the one guaranteeing the of free speech and a free press Lately there have been renewed efforts in many quarters to control the Press of America Not only local and stale authorities have tried to dictate shall ano shall not be printed but there have been hints and threats from those high in the Federal Government itself Not long ago an agent of the Department of Labor threatened to prosecute for treason newspaper which primed a of the effort lo unionize certain His WHS promptly disavowed by his superiors but since then similar threats lo clamp down on newspapers and reporters which dare lo the NRA have been voiced by General Johnson The United Stales has nol yet become a despotism We arc not ruled Ly a Dictator The first act of those who usurp power is always to to control the Press It is time now when the trial of Peter Zenger is being celebrated as a great historical event lo declare once more hat neither this newspaper nor any other newspaper in America will tolerate any Jort by Authority to say what it may or may nol print The Guardian of upon the freedom of the and that cannot be ed without This is season when the fellow
