# Minneapolis St. Railway Company v. Herrick/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
127 U.S. 210
Minneapolis St. Railway Company v. Herrick
The defendant is a corporation created under the laws of Minnesota, and in December, 1881, it operated a railroad extending from Minneapolis, in that state, to Fort Dodge, in Iowa. A law of Iowa, then in force, provides that 'every corporation operating employes of such corporation, in damages sustained by any person, including employes of such corporation, in consequence of the neglect of agents, or by any mismanagement of the engineers or other employes of the corporation, and in consequence of the willful wrongs, whether of commission or omission, of such agents, engineers, or other employes, when such wrongs are in any manner connected with the use and operation of any railway on or about which they shall be employed, and no contract which restricts such liability shall be legal or binding.' On the 6th of December, 1881, the plaintiff was employed by the defendant as a brakeman on one of its cars, and on that day, in Webster, in Iowa, it became his duty to make a coupling of an engine and a freight car. The engine was in charge of one of its employes, an engineer, and, while the plaintiff was making the coupling, the engine was, by the negligence and mismanagement of the engineer, driven against the car, causing severe and permanent injuries to the plaintiff. To recover damages for the injuries thus sustained he brought this action in a district court of Minnesota, relying upon the law of Iowa quoted above. The defendant in its answer alleged, and on the trial contended, that this law was abrogated by that provision of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, which declares that no state shall deprive any person of property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The district court held the law to be in full force, and that under it the railroad company was responsible to the plaintiff for the injuries sustained by him through the negligence of the engineer. The plaintiff accordingly recovered a verdict for $2,000, upon which judgment was entered. Upon appeal to the state supreme court the judgment was affirmed, and to review that judgment the case is brought here. We have just decided the case of Railway Co. v. Mackey, ante, 1161, where similar objections were raised* to a law of Kansas, which, on the point here involvd , is not essentially different from the law of Iowa, namely, in imposing liabilities upon railroad companies for injuries to employes in its service, though caused by the negligence or incompetency of a fellow-servant, and we held that the law was not in conflict with the clauses referred to in the fourteenth amendment. On the authority of that case the judgment in the present one must be affirmed; and it is so ordered.

# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/Fire and Ice

2. Fire and Ice
(From Harper’s Magazine, December 1920.)
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,5 I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/Good-by and Keep Cold

6. Good-by and Keep Cold
(From Harper’s Magazine, July 1920.)
THIS saying good-by on the edge of the dark
And cold to an orchard so young in the bark
Reminds me of all that can happen to harm
An orchard away at the end of the farm
All winter, cut off by a hill from the house.5 I don’t want it girdled by rabbit and mouse,
I don’t want it dreamily nibbled for browse
By deer, and I don’t want it budded by grouse.
(If certain it wouldn’t be idle to call
I’d summon grouse, rabbit, and deer to the wall10 And warn them away with a stick for a gun.)
I don’t want it stirred by the heat of the sun.
(We made it secure against being, I hope,
By setting it out on a northerly slope.)
No orchard’s the worse for the wintriest storm;15 But one thing about it, it mustn’t get warm.
“How often already you’ve had to be told,
Keep cold, young orchard. Good-by and keep cold.
Dread fifty above more than fifty below.”
I have to be gone for a season or so.20 My business awhile is with different trees,
Less carefully nourished, less fruitful than these,
And such as is done to their wood with an ax—
Maples and birches and tamaracks.
I wish I could promise to lie in the night25 And think of an orchard’s arboreal plight
When slowly (and nobody comes with a light)
Its heart sinks lower under the sod.
But something has to be left to God.
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/The Lockless Door

7. The Lockless Door
(From A Miscellany of American Poetry 1920 [New York, 1920].)
It went many years,
But at last came a knock,
And I thought of the door
With no lock to lock.
  I blew out the light,5 I tip-toed the floor,
And raised both hands
In prayer to the door.
  But the knock came again
My window was wide;10 I climbed on the sill
And descended outside.
  Back over the sill
I bade a “Come in”
To whoever the knock15 At the door may have been.
  So at a knock
I emptied my cage
To hide in the world
And alter with age.20
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/Fragmentary Blue

5. Fragmentary Blue
(From Harper’s Magazine, July 1920.)
Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
  Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)—5 Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/Not to Keep

9. Not to Keep
(From The Yale Review, January 1917.)
They sent him back to her. The letter came
Saying... And she could have him. And before
She could be sure there was no hidden ill
Under the formal writing, he was in her sight,
Living. They gave him back to her alive—5 How else? They are not known to send the dead—
And not disfigured visibly. His face?
His hands? She had to look, and ask,
“What was it, dear?” And she had given all
And still she had all—they had—they the lucky!10 Wasn’t she glad now? Everything seemed won,
And all the rest for them permissible ease.
She had to ask, “What was it, dear?”
  “Enough,
Yet not enough. A bullet through and through,15 High in the breast. Nothing but what good care
And medicine and rest, and you a week,
Can cure me of to go again.” The same
Grim giving to do over for them both.
She dared no more than ask him with her eyes20 How was it with him for a second trial.
And with his eyes he asked her not to ask.
They had given him back to her, but not to keep.
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/For Once, Then, Something

4. For Once, Then, Something
(From Harper’s Magazine, July 1920.)
Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs
Always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
My myself in the summer heaven, godlike5 Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs.
Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,
Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
Something more of the depths—and then I lost it.10 Water came to rebuke the too clear water.
One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple
Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,
Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness?
Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.15
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/Plowmen

11. Plowmen
(From A Miscellany of American Poetry 1920 [New York, 1920].)
I hear men say to plow the snow.
They cannot mean to plant it, though—
Unless in bitterness to mock
At having cultivated rock.
# Miscellaneous Poems to 1920/The Flower Boat

3. The Flower Boat
(From The Youth’s Companion, May 20, 1909.)
The fisherman’s swapping a yarn for a yarn
Under the hand of the village barber,
And here in the angle of house and barn
His deep-sea dory has found a harbor.
  At anchor she rides the sunny sod5 As full to the gunnel with flowers a-growing
As ever she turned her home with cod
From George’s Bank when winds were blowing.
  And I know from that Elysian freight
She will brave but once more the Atlantic weather,10 When dory and fisherman sail by fate
To seek for the Happy Isles together.
# Miscellanies (Thoreau)/Prayer

PRAYER
Great God! I ask thee for no meaner pelf Than that I may not disappoint myself; That in my conduct I may soar as high As I can now discern with this clear eye; And next in value, which thy kindness lends, That I may greatly disappoint my friends, Howe'er they think or hope it that may be, They may not dream how thou 'st distinguished me; That my weak hand may equal my firm faith, And my life practice more than my tongue saith; ​That my low conduct may not show, Nor my relenting lines, That I thy purpose did not know, Or overrated thy designs.
# Miscellanies (Thoreau)/The Moon

THE MOON
Raleigh.
The full-orbed moon with unchanged ray Mounts up the eastern sky, Not doomed to these short nights for aye, But shining steadily.
She does not wane, but my fortune, Which her rays do not bless; My wayward path declineth soon, But she shines not the less.
And if she faintly glimmers here, And palèd is her light, Yet alway in her proper sphere She's mistress of the night.

# Miscellanies (Thoreau)/Pilgrims

PILGRIMS
"Have you not seen, In ancient times, Pilgrims pass by Toward other climes, With shining faces, Youthful and strong, Mounting this hill With speech and with song?"
"Ah, my good sir, I know not those ways: ​Little my knowledge, Tho' many my days. When I have slumbered, I have heard sounds As of travelers passing These my grounds.
"'T was a sweet music Wafted them by, I could not tell If afar off or nigh. Unless I dreamed it, This was of yore: I never told it To mortal before, Never remembered But in my dreams What to me waking A miracle seems."
# Miscellanies (Thoreau)/The Black Knight

THE BLACK KNIGHT
Be sure your fate Doth keep apart its state, Not linked with any band, Even the nobles of the land; In tented fields with cloth of gold No place doth hold ​But is more chivalrous than they are, And sigheth for a nobler war; A finer strain its trumpet sings, A brighter gleam its armor flings. The life that I aspire to live No man proposeth me; Only the promise of my heart Wears its emblazonry.
# Morris v. Williams

Little Rock schoolteacher Susie Morris sued school district officials for racial discrimination by paying black teachers less than white teachers. In Morris v. Williams, 59 F.Supp. 508 (E.D. Ark. 1944), U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Clark Trimble III ruled against Morris after finding that she failed to prove the district had discriminated on the basis of race. Judge Trimble's ruling was reversed on appeal. Morris v. Williams, 149 F.2d 703 (8th Cir. 1945).
Morris's attorneys at trial included Scipio Africanus Jones, who died before this case was over, and Thurgood Marshall, future justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
