NEWSPAPER'S DISCRETION
LONDON", July 14.
Rec. 9 a.m
I A newspaper has the right to refuse an advertisement, said Mr. Justice Singleton in awarding damages to j newspaper managers in a libel action lat Leeds Assizes. ! "It would be a deplorable thing ix | the newspapers accepted every advertisement," lie said. "They must, in ! the interests of their own good name land standing, exercise some care.----i "If a newspaper proprietor has reason !to doubt an advertiser's bona fides, surely it is his right to say that he would rather .not have his advertisements and refuse to accept them. That is what the proprietors of these particular newspapers did, and I think'they were right."
