# A Few Hours in a Far-Off Age/Chapter 22

CHAPTER XXII.
WHAT a happy age is this far-off one! No skeletons of mythology are here deadening or vitiating one-seventh of these people's lives. How different are their faces to those of my century!—where nine-tenths are stamped the hideous seal of hypocrisy.
Oh! that I might be permitted to remain! Sighing longingly, I look upon the beautiful scene before me.
While thinking how delightful to live in a town so bright—so pure within as without—a voice answers my spirit's request:
​While the voice pronounced those last words, "mid-day song" came rolling down the galleries. In vain I implore for one half-hour longer, to hear that glorious music.
Firmly, yet sorrowfully, the voice repeats "Away!"
I am flying through ages of always decreasing light and beauty, while the students' enchanting harmony rings in my ears:
Facts evolving, Darkness fleeing, Mists dissolving, Great truths seeing.
# A Few Hours in a Far-Off Age/Chapter 23

CHAPTER XXIII.
I HAVE returned to our earth. Oh, what cruel disorder here reigns! Truth crashed and persecuted! "Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God alone," flaunting in every myth temple! howling in every community! checking progress at every avenue.
Fools and rogues! You who profess so much love and reverence for your skeletons. I tell you it is all useless that you noisily rattle their offensive bones before my vision. That bright light of truth from the far-off age shines to me through your blackest screens! Go, hug your loathsome relics of a loathsome era in privacy—if you can—and say not again to my ears what you dare not utter to the Infinite in your solitude.
Ha! I see I "obey" and do the "work" that was commanded, for the light shines more brightly!
A dream? What is dreaming? Some explain most learnedly how it is caused by certain conditions of the body. May not some dreams cause those certain conditions?
Dream, or what else it has been, I see always the beautiful light bright with truth and hope. No one can extinguish it!

# An Act respecting certain Penalties in respect of Stamp Duties

CAP. LII.
[Assented to 22nd May, 1868.]
Preamble.Whereas Stamp Duties on Promissory Notes and Bills of Exchange were, so far as the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are concerned, first imposed by an Act of this Parliament, in the first part of the present Session; And whereas, in consequence of the provisions of the said Act being unknown in the said Provinces, many of the inhabitants thereof in ignorance of the necessity of affixing stamps to such intruments, have neglected to comply with the provisions of the said Act, and have thereby incurred penalties: Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:
Exemption from penalty in certain cases.1. No person in either of the said Provinces of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick, being a party to any such Note or Bill made or drawn before the passing of this Act, shall be liable to any penalty in respect of any omission or neglect to affix thereto the proper stamp or stamps; Provided that this Act shall not affect any pending suit, nor any penalty actually paid.

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. v. Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad Co.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana
No. 13. Argued: October 17, 1968 --- Decided: November 12, 1968
The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), pursuant to § 15 (6) of the Interstate Commerce Act, ordered new divisions for North-South joint rail rates, finding that the Northern lines' costs warranted an increased share of the revenues. The North-South traffic, the costs for which were not isolated in the ICC's findings, represents 6% of the total North traffic and 21.4% of the total South traffic. The average costs used by the ICC relate to all Northern and all Southern traffic, although 80% of all Northern traffic is intra-territorial. The District Court ruled that territorial average costs did not meet the statutory requirements for precise and relevant findings absent evidence relating the territorial average to North-South traffic, and held that the ICC's order was not supported by substantial evidence and reasoned findings, and remanded for further proceedings.
Held:
    1. While mathematical precision and exactitude are not required, the nature and volume of the traffic must be known and exposed, if costs are to govern rate divisions. Pp. 91-92.
    2. If average territorial costs are shown to be a distortion when applied to particular North-South traffic, reliance on administrative "expertise" is not sufficient, but it must be shown that there is, in fact, no basic material difference, or there must be an adjustment which fairly reflects the difference in costs. Pp. 92-93.
    3. On remand the ICC must make specific findings to adjust average territorial costs with respect to commuter deficits, interchange of cars in North-South traffic at territorial border points, and empty freight car return ratios. Pp. 93-95.
270 F.Supp. 695, affirmed as modified.
Edward A. Kaier argued the cause for appellants in No. 13. With him on the briefs were Joseph F. Eshelman, Richard B. Montgomery, Jr., Eugene E. Hunt, Kenneth H. Lundmark, and Kemper A. Dobbins. Arthur J. Cerra argued the cause for appellant in No. 15. With him on the brief was Robert W. Ginnane.

# An Act respecting Constables

An Act respecting Constables.
[Assented to 2nd March, 1877.]
Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:
1. (To prevent injurious delay in appointing County Constables, arising from the long intervals between the sittings of the Courts of General Sessions of the Peace), any Judge of any County Court may, at any time, and from time to time, appoint any person or persons to be a Constable or Constables for the County or United Counties, of the County Court of which such Judge is a Judge.
2. The Judge making any such appointment shall forthwith notify the Clerk of the Peace thereof.
3. The Clerk of the Peace shall report every such appointment to the next Court of General Sessions of the Peace which is holden after he receives notice thereof from the said Judge, and unless at such Court such appointment is revoked by order duly passed in Sessions, the same shall continue as if the same had originally been made at such Court
4. Any Constable so appointed by a Judge as aforesaid shall during the continuance of such appointment, have the same authority and privileges and be subject to the same liability and the performance of the same duties as if originally appointed by the Court of General Sessions of the Peace.
5. The Judge of the County Court may suspend from office any County Constable for any period, in the discretion of the Judge, but not beyond one week after the time appointed for the next sittings of the General Sessions of the Peace; such suspension shall be by notice in writing; and in case the Judge considers the suspended officer deserving of dismissal, such Judge shall, immediately after suspending him, report the case fully to the Clerk of the Peace for submission to the Justices at the next General Sessions of the Peace; and the Justices may dismiss such officer, or direct him to be restored to his office, after period of his suspensions has expired, or after such further period of suspension as they may order.
6. The Lieutenant-Governor may appoint, either permanently or for such a period as he may think fit, persons to be Provincial Constables, and every person so appointed shall, while he holds office, be a Constable of every County and District in Ontario, and, as such, shall have authority to act in any part of this Province.

but no such party or witness shall be compelled to answer an question, by his answer to which he might render himself liable to a criminal prosecution.

# AG letter to Senate leaders regarding FISC decision and conclusion of Terrorist Surveillance Program

The Attorney General
Washington, D.C.
January 17, 2007
The Honorable Patrick Leahy Chairman Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510
The Honorable Arlen Specter Racking Minority Member Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Chairman Leahy and Senator Specter:
I am writing to inform you that on January 10, 2007, a Judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued orders authorizing the Government to target for collection international communications into or out of the United States where there is a probable cause to believe that one of the communicants is a member or agent of al Queda or an associated terrorist organization. As a result of these orders, any electronic surveillance that was occurring as part of the Terrorist Surveillance Program will now be conducted subject to the approval of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
In the spring of 2005--well before the first press account disclosing the existence of the Terrorist Surveillance Program--the Administration began exploring options for seeking such FISA Court Approval. Any court authorization had to ensure that the Intelligence Community would have the speed and agility necessary to protect the Nation from al Qaeda--the very speed and agility that was offered by the Terrorist Surveillance Program. These orders are innovative, they are complex, and it took considerable time and work for the Government to develop the approach that was proposed to the Court and for the Judge on the FISC to consider and approve these orders.
The President is committed to using all lawful tools to protect our Nation from the terrorist threat, including making maximum use of the authorities provided by FISA and taking full advantage of developments in the law. Although, as we have previously explained, the Terrorist Surveillance Program fully complies with the law, the orders the Government has obtained will allow the necessary speed and agility while providing substantial advantages. Accordingly, under these circumstances, the President has ​
determined not to reauthorize the Terrorist Surveillance Program when the current authorization expires.
The Intelligence Committees have been briefed on the highly classified details of these orders. In addition, I have directed Steve Bradbury, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, and Ken Wainstein, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, to provide a classified briefing to you on the details of these orders.
                Sincerely,
                Alberto R. Gonzales,
                Attorney General

# The Frontier

* information about this edition
* sister projects: Wikidata item
   ... Adventure of a different vein and another land fills The Frontier, by Maurice Leblanc, the author of Arsène Lupin. The underlying feud between French and German is the theme, together with a romance, highly spiced, as befits a story in which Frenchmen play the leading part. There is a lot of drama, fairly well done, and some unprofitable dreaming. —The Bookman, August 1912

United States Supreme Court
393 U.S. 117
WHYY, Inc. v. Borough of Glassboro et al.
Appeal from the Supreme Court of New Jersey
No. 10. Argued: October 17, 1968 --- Decided: November 12, 1968
Appellant, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation, operates a non-commercial television station. It has broadcasting facilities in New Jersey and has registered and qualified to transact business there. Appellant's request for exemption, as a nonprofit corporation, from New Jersey real and personal property taxes was denied by local tax boards. The Superior Court held that while appellant qualified for the exemption in all other respects, the statute exempted only New Jersey nonprofit corporations. The State Supreme Court rejected appellant's argument that it was denied equal protection by being discriminated against solely because of its foreign incorporation.
Held: When a foreign corporation is permitted to enter a State it is entitled to equal protection with domestic corporations, and New Jersey cannot deny appellant an opportunity equivalent to that of a domestic corporation to show that it meets the requirements for a nonprofit corporation under local law.
50 N.J. 6, 231 A.2d 608, reversed and remanded.
James M. Marsh argued the cause for appellant. With him on the briefs were Grover C. Richman, Jr., and Lewis Weinstock.
John W. Trimble argued the cause and filed a brief for appellee Borough of Glassboro.
PER CURIAM.
