United States Supreme Court
239 U.S. 55
Stratton v. Stratton
Argued: October 25, 1915. --- Decided: November 8, 1915
To reverse a judgment rendered by the Ohio court of appeals of the seventh appellate district on the ground of Federal errors committed, this writ of error is prosecuted to that court. There is a motion to dismiss, based on the ground that the court of last authority, the supreme court of the state, was the highest court in which a decision in the suit could be had. This rests not upon the contention that in all cases, as a matter of right and of duty, the supreme court was given authority to review the judgments and decrees of the courts of appeals, but upon the proposition that, under the Constitution and laws of Ohio, the supreme court was vested with power to review in every case the judgments or decrees of the courts of appeals where, in the exercise of its judgment, the supreme court deemed them to be of such public or great general interest as to require review.
The premises upon which the proposition is based being undoubtedly accurate, indeed, not disputable (Ohio Const. art. 4, § 2; Akron v. Roth, 88 Ohio St. 457, 403 N. E. 465), we think the motion to dismiss must prevail. True, it is urged that under the Ohio law the jurisdiction of the supreme court was not imperative, but gracious or discretionary, that is, depending upon its judgment as to whether the case was one of public or great general interest,-an exceptional class in which the case before us, it is insisted, we must now decide was not embraced. But this simply invites us to assume jurisdiction by exercising an authority which we have not; that is, by indulging in conjecture as to what would or would not have been the judgment of the supreme court of Ohio if it had been called upon to exert the discretion vested in it by state laws. When the significance of the proposition upon which the claim of jurisdiction is based is thus fixed, it is not open to contention, as it has long since been adversely disposed of. Fisher v. Perkins (Fisher v. Carrico) 122 U.S. 522, 30 L. ed. 1192, 7 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1227; Mullen v. Western Union Beef Co. 173 U.S. 116, 43 L. ed. 635, 19 Sup. Ct. Rep. 404. Indeed, conforming to the rule thus thoroughly established, the practice for years had been in the various states where discretionary power to review exists in the highest court of the state, to invoke the exercise of such discretion in order that, upon the refusal to do so, there might be no question concerning the right to review in this court. See Western U. Teleg. Co. v. Crovo, 220 U.S. 364, 55 L. ed. 498, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 339; Norfolk & S. Turnp. Co. v. Virginia, 225 U.S. 264, 56 L. ed. 1082, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 828; St. Louis, S. F. & T. R. Co. v. Seale, 229 U.S. 156, 57 L. ed. 1129, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 651, Ann. Cas. 1914C, 156.
Dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

# Tales of the Jazz Age/Tarquin of Cheapside/Chapter 3

​Three o'clock went into four. The room paled, the dark outside was shot through with damp and chill, and Wessel, cupping his brain in his hands, bent low over his table, tracing through the pattern of knights and fairies and the harrowing distresses of many girls. There were dragons chortling along the narrow street outside; when the sleepy armorer's boy began his work at half-past five the heavy clink and clank of plate and linked mail swelled to the echo of a marching cavalcade.
A fog shut down at the first flare of dawn, and the room was grayish yellow at six when Wessel tiptoed to his cupboard bedchamber and pulled open the door. His guest turned on him a face pale as parchment in which two distraught eyes burned like great red letters. He had drawn a chair close to Wessel's prie-dieu which he was using as a desk; and on it was an amazing stack of ​closely written pages. With a long sigh Wessel withdrew and returned to his siren, calling himself fool for not claiming his bed here at dawn.
The dump of boots outside, the croaking of old beldames from attic to attic, the dull murmur of morning, unnerved him, and, dozing, he slumped in his chair, his brain, overladen with sound and color, working intolerably over the imagery that stacked it. In this restless dream of his he was one of a thousand groaning bodies crushed near the sun, a helpless bridge for the strong-eyed Apollo. The dream tore at him, scraped along his mind like a ragged knife. When a hot hand touched his shoulder, he awoke with what was nearly a scream to find the fog thick in the room and his guest, a gray ghost of misty stuff, beside him with a pile of paper in his hand.
"It should be a most intriguing tale, I believe, though it requires some going over. May I ask you to lock it away, and in God's name let me sleep?"
He waited for no answer, but thrust the pile at Wessel, and literally poured himself like stuff from a suddenly inverted bottle upon a couch in the corner, slept, with his breathing regular, but his brow wrinkled in a curious and somewhat uncanny manner.
Wessel yawned sleepily and, glancing at the scrawled, uncertain first page, he began reading aloud very softly:
    The Rape of Lucrece
    "From the besieged Ardea all in post,
    Borne by the trustless wings of false desire,
    Lust-breathing Tarquin leaves the Roman host—"

"As the Leaves Fall"
Autumn, 1916
AND the leaves fall . . . The silver and the golden fall together, A-mingled irresistibly like tears.
The low-branched elms stand idly In all the full-leaved glory of their life: Yet here and there a yellow flake slips slowly, And the branch, where once it hung, lies bare. Below they lie—the golden fruits of day. And a soft spirit of the night Weaves the white spell of sleep about their feet.
And the leaves fall . . . The great sleep of the trees is nigh: The flowers are dead. Yet through the fine-spun web of mist Gleams faintly Michael's pale blue star. . . . A time of sad soul-hunger, unspeakable desire, That clutches at the heart and drags the soul!
​And the leaves fall. . . . Is there a far faint life Whispers with blood-choked voice thy name? Whispers but once—no more? Then weep ye now, O Mothers! And, Maidens, weep! O England, rend the raiment of thy wealth: Tear the soft vesture of thy pride! Let the tears fall and be not comforted! In all their youth they went for thee; In all their strength they died for thee; And so they fell, As the leaves fall. . . . .
Yet they say you are dead? Ask of the trees. Perchance they hear A distant murmuring of pulsing sap. Perchance in their dim minds they see Pale curlèd leaves that strive to greet the sun. Perchance they know of yellow daffodils Will dance again.
Yet the leaves fall . . . And yonder through the mist is Michael's star— Saint Michael with his angel-host! Ay! see them as they sweep along ​Borne on an unseen wind to the far throne of God. And, Mothers, see; O Maidens, look How the world's Christ stoops down and kisses each. And listen now and hear their cry, As, lances raised, they greet their King— "There is no death . . . There is no death . . . No death . . ." and comfort you, When the leaves fall.

To My Mother—1916
IF I should fall, grieve not that one so weak And poor as I Should die. Nay! though thy heart should break Think only this: that when at dusk they speak Of sons and brothers of another one, Then thou canst say—"I too had a son; He died for England's sake!"
The Song of The Happy Warrior
THE song of the boy who was brave and fair, He was young and his eyes were grey, He was swift to run and strong to strive And ready for any play. He climbed to the top of the apple tree When nobody else would dare; He couldn't get down and he feared he'd fall As the branch swayed in the air.
​O! the ground seemed such a way below, But he smiled a doubtful smile-a, And he grit his teeth and sang "Cheer-o!" Though the drop to the ground seemed a mile-a.
The song of the man in the khaki-coat As he stands in the wet and snow, A smoking rifle in his hands And his feet in the mud below. The tale of the charge and the man that fell, Of the tunic dyed with red, The tight-clenched teeth and the clammy brow And the stain where the wound had bled. O! he groaned as he jolted to and fro And wan, wan was his smile-a, But he grit his teeth and he hummed "Cheer-o!" And he died at the end of a mile-a.

Hills of Home
OH! you hills are filled with sunlight, and the green leaves paled to gold, And the smoking mists of Autumn hanging faintly o'er the wold; I dream of hills of other days whose sides I loved to roam When Spring was dancing through the lanes of those distant hills of home.
The winds of heaven gathered there as pure and cold as dew; Wood-sorrel and wild violets along the hedgerows grew, The blossom on the pear-trees was as white as flakes of foam In the orchard 'neath the shadow of those distant hills of home.
​The first white frost in the meadow will be shining there to-day, And the furrowed upland glinting warm beside the woodland way; There, a bright face and a clear hearth will be waiting when I come, And my heart is throbbing wildly for those distant hills of home.

THE HON. EVAN MORGAN
2nd Lieut., Welsh Guards
What of the Dead?
IF in the repose of an arbour Under a western sky One dreams of a vast eternal And one questions the reason why; Why joy should dissolve into sorrow, Why pearls should melt in the wine, And whether the new dawning morrow Will reckon the close of our time? If in the repose of the arbour One gazes on nature around, Is there some definite answer In the earth or the sky to be found? Are we the pawns of a Jevah That move on a cross-chequered board? Propelled from the back by a lever, Controlled, supervised by a Lord? Given a pen as a plaything To scribble out poems and plays— Works that we worship with reverence, The blossoms of earlier days— Given a spirit of reason, Given a mind to attend, ​Given a soul filled with treason To embitter and poison the end? Is there a peaceful Nirvana? Is there a rest for the soul? A bed for the toil-driven Karma, A telos? a Heaven? a goal? What of the slain in the battle? What of the dead on the field? Foul slaughtered like horses and cattle, Those men that we use as a shield: If ever a soul got to Heaven! If ever soul reaped a reward! Those whose red blood has been given A gift to their own native sward: Those are the ones for a Heaven, For a peace and a pleasure unknown, By their work are they all self-forgiven, Let their blood for His Blood atone.
The World's Reward
To N. S., 1st Coldstream Guards
UNDER what melancholy thought Laboured we long! Setting all joy at nought, We joined the throng Of striving wretches, battered by despair, With bursting eye-balls, blood-bespattered hair.
​Onward we trudge, a hostile herd, On through our night; God's creatures less than beast or bird; A bloody sight. Slaves to our own decree, burnt through of fires, Doubting our Maker's love, or His desires.
Thus through unending pain We go to death, Hoping by Death to gain A happier breath; Trusting for once, whatever we had doubted, That Death himself to us, of victory now shouted.
Fed with the failing of our life, Moistened with gall, We seek for peace in battle strife, Food for us all; So in our fellows' blood our hands we steep, Trusting that good will come, when laid to sleep.
Great God, with tending hand Watch o'er our souls, Speeding from Mammon's land To other goals. And when the battlefield gives up her dead, Let each on angel's breast lay down his head.
# Soldiers' Petition for Dr. Mudd's Release

* related portals: Samuel Mudd Documents.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
After the 1867 yellow fever epidemic at Fort Jefferson had abated, 300 surviving soldiers signed a petition for Dr. Mudd’s release. This is the text of the petition, written by Edmund L. Zalinski, 1st Lieutenant, 5th U.S. Artillery.
Source: U.S. National Archives, College Park, MD
It is with sincere pleasure that we acknowledge the great services rendered by Dr. S. A. Mudd (prisoner) during the prevalence of yellow fever at the Fort. When the very worthy surgeon of the Post, Dr. J. Sim Smith, fell one of the first victims of the fatal epidemic, and the greatest dismay and alarm naturally prevailed on all sides, deprived as the garrison was of the assistance of any medical officer, Dr. Mudd, influenced by the most praiseworthy and humane motives, spontaneously and unsolicited came forward to devote all his energies and professional knowledge to the aid of the sick and dying. He inspired the hopeless with courage, and by his constant presence in the midst of danger and infection, regardless of his own life, tranquillized the fearful and desponding.
By his prudence and foresight, the hospital upon an adjacent island, to which at first the sick were removed in an open boat, was discontinued. Those attacked with the malady were on the spot put under vigorous treatment. A protracted exposure on the open sea was avoided, and many now strong doubtless owe their lives to the care and treatment they received at his hands. He properly considered the nature and character of the infection and concluded that it could not be eradicated by the mere removal of the sick, entailing, as it did, the loss of valuable time necessary for the application of the proper remedies, exposure of those attacked and adding to the general fear and despondency. The entire different system of treatment and hospital arrangement was resorted to with the happiest effect.
Dr. Mudd's treatment and the change which he recommended met with the hearty approval and warm commendation of the regularly appointed surgeons, with whom, in a later stage of the epidemic, he was associated. Many here who have experienced his kind and judicious treatment, can never repay him the debt of obligation they owe him. We do, therefore, in consideration of the invaluable services rendered by him during this calamitous and fatal epidemic, earnestly recommend him to the well-merited clemency of the Government, and solicit his immediate release from here, and restoration to liberty and the bosom of his family.
