mue mc the <a the current iàue- a te A FR É'PRESS5 Ini common with other sections of the country the North Shore presents a sol id. wall against any re- strictions, upon free speech and a free press, as set forth in the constitution of -the, United States and the Bill of !Rights. Our people ar e calons of the privileges thus accorded thein, and equallv deter- mined that the saine privileges shall be enJoyed by fellow-citizens everywhere. Various attempts in mr- cent years to clip the wings cf the press and curtail free expression on matters cf public concern have met with instant- and effective .opposition. Similar attempts te prevent f ree speech have been as strongly condemned. NatuIIly, this -newsm'agazinei would oppose any future attempt to enrcoacb: upon its rîght to publish r eports of au? tne w iàfférÉ où tà -givévoice to 1ts opinion upon any subject affecting the public. But that right must lie within the bounds of truth and * reason, neyer extending te the field of inisrepresen- * tation, deceit and plain fabrication. Nor into that other realin wbere public prints are utilized as. a vehicle for the venting cf spite against any person or any comniity. The North Shore bas recently been the victini cf some very bad ne-%\spaper practice.

The invester knows that if he risks bis müney' in a new% venture and is lucky enough te earn a profit, the goveriment will take an undue sbare cf it through the capital gains tax-and so be leaves, before his diinming eyes, . bis mind crowded with regrets, his beart heavy frorn the. unkind darts shot into it by.those.wbo were once bis bosoni friends- and many of Whom h ad profited handsomely through bis genius.

Lt must bave been the desertioný of former friends fer whom he' had ,dene' se much, and. the noterions- ingratitude cf -the public for benefits, re- ceived from bis hand, that broke both heart and spirit, bringing bu te old age years too early, and te a premature death. If "no ther person regrets 'thie pasitg of Sam uel Insuil, hie bas one sincere . mourner in this writer, who neyer knew or even saw hirn nor made or lest a dollar through his operations. Our regret is the loss te the world cf his intellect, his marvelous gift for organization, bis financial wizardry, his abdlitv te discern economic possibi lities and directtheir de- velopnient, bis keen desire to give .te the city of bis adoption the best in transportation and electrical boe service. WVe do net believe lie deliberately plantied to defraud a single individual. If fate i be followed and is retused that statement iecause the official bas no intention cf folloing the sug- gesteci procedure, then publishes as a fact that the officiai bas already taken the action, dien that publi- cation bas passed beyend the bounds thiat should rigbtly limit its expression.
