* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
255 U.S. 104
C. A. WEED & COMPANY v. LOCKWOOD, AS UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Western District of New York.
No. 407. Argued: October 19, 20, 1920. --- Decided: February 28, 1921.
Mr. Chief Justice White delivered the opinion of the court.
An indictment having been returned against the appellant in the court below for violating the fourth section of the Lever Act by selling wearing apparel at an unjust or unreasonable rate or charge, it filed its bill in that court praying that the United States attorney be enjoined from proceeding with the prosecution, assigning as grounds for the injunction, that the section was void because a regulation of prices of wearing apparel was beyond the power of Congress in the existing state of peace, and because the statute was too vague and deficient in standard to justify a criminal prosecution under it.
The court, on demurrer, held that a status of war existed and that although there were some authorities to the contrary, that condition, in its opinion, conferred upon Congress the authority to fix the price at which wearing apparel might be sold, as the business of selling such merchandise was a business in which the public had an interest and which, therefore, the government could regulate. Pointing out, however, that the question as to the vagueness of the statute was more serious, the court nevertheless declared that it was of opinion that Congress had authority to provide against an unjust or unreasonable price, without fixing such price, by leaving it to be adjusted by courts and juries, depending upon the general economic situation at the time an alleged violation of the prohibition came before them for consideration. The bill was accordingly dismissed, and the case is here on direct appeal.
It is evident from the decision in the Cohen Grocery Co, Case, this day announced, ante, 81, that the decree below was wrong, and for the reasons stated in the opinion in that case, it must be and is reversed.
Decree reversed.
Mr. Justice DAY took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
Mr. Justice PITNEY and Mr. Justice BRANDEIS concur in the result.

By ELIZABETH VIRGINIA RAPLEE
O bony relic of forgotten days, Which, from my bookshelf, dominates the room, Your empty sockets, with sardonic gaze, Follow me weirdly in the deepening gloom! I often think, if sudden speech returned, You might reveal that secret, grisly jest You're grinning at—or tell me what you've learned Of that dark realm to which we're all addressed.
By what rude hands were you exhumed, and why Wrenched from your body in its earthy bed? Who knows but such indignity will I Receive at other hands, when I am dead, And, strangely resurrected, may adorn The wall or desk of one as yet unborn!

Williams v. Oliver
The decision in the preceding case of Williams, Trustee, v. Oliver’s Executors, again affirmed.
This case was also, like the preceding one, brought up from the Court of Appeals of Maryland, by a writ of error issued under the 25th section of the Judiciary Act.
The circumstances of the two cases were the same. In both, Winchester was the trustee who sold the share to oliver, and the same act of Assembly applied to both. The judgment and reasons of the Court of Appeals covered both cases, and they were argued in this court together by the same counsel.
Mr. Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the court.
This case involves the same principles as the case of Williams, permanent Trustee of James Williams, already decided; and we refer to the opinion there delivered for our decision in this case.
The case is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Order.
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record from the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland for the Western Shore, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof, it is now here ordered and adjudged by this court, that this cause be, and the same is hereby, dismissed, for the want of jurisdiction.

# Weird Tales/Volume 9/Issue 1/Fame

Fame
By A. Leslie
High and cold, the tapers Burn with a wheat-white fire, And the silver stands are clotted With the ash of dead desire.
Bleak as the flameless altar Of the "god without a name," Stands 'mid the sweeping star-winds The lonely shrine of Fame.
Stilled is the song of laughter. Frozen the warmth of tears, Sound only grand cadenzas— The Heart Song of the spheres.
Rugged the way and narrow, Pale with the bleach of bones, Riming of sweat in the furrows, Black'ning of blood on the stones.
And they who kneel at the chancel Gaze forward, they dare not look back. For white are the "pillars," and bitter, That warn by the soul-clutching track.
# Weird Tales/Volume 9/Issue 3/The Specter

The Specter
By MILES J. BREUER
I dwell alone, behind the stone, In the Shadow’s grisly gloom; My watch I keep when flesh-folk sleep, Before Grohrishou’s tomb. At dank midnight in sulfur light My pallid shape I show; And those that see, in terror flee, Nor ever respite know. I glide among the staring throng Of gravestones in the dark, For here I reign; ’tis my domain, This ghoulish Dead Men’s Park. And in the rooms of ghastly tombs I rattle dead men’s bones; My shrieking laughs ’neath epitaphs Are heard ’mid sighs and groans, In every storm I show my form, The timids’ blood to freeze; I haunt their halls, their ruined walls; I leer from out the trees. I live alone behind the stone, Whose gray top reeks with gore; Each thing that runs my presence shuns— Alone forevermore!
# Weird Tales/Volume 9/Issue 2/Meg Merrilies

MEG MERRILIES
By JOHN KEATS
(Reprint)
Old Meg she was a gipsy And lived upon the moors: Her bed it was the brown heath turf, And her house was out of doors. Her apples were swart blackberries, Her currants pods o' broom; Her wine was dew of the wild white rose, Her book a churchyard tomb.
Her brothers were the craggy hills, Her sisters larchen trees— Alone with her great family She lived as she did please. No breakfast had she many a morn, No dinner many a noon, And 'stead of supper she would stare Full hard against the moon.
But every morn, of woodbine fresh She made her garlanding, And every night the dark glen yew She wove, and she would sing. And with her fingers old and brown She plaited mats o' rushes, And gave them to the cottagers She met among the bushes.
Old Meg was brave as Margaret Queen And tall as Amazon: An old red blanket cloak she wore; A chip hat had she on. God rest her aged bones somewhere— She died full long agone!

United States Supreme Court
176 U.S. 481
Wright v. Columbus Hocking Valley Athens Railroad Company
Argued: December 13, 1899. --- Decided: February 26, 1900
Plaintiff insisted before the supreme court that he made the improvements on his mill with reference to the contract between the state and the Federal government, but the supreme court was of opinion that he had no legal right to make investments on the faith of a contract between others, and to which he was not a party or privy, and insist for that reason the contract should be observed by either of the parties; that, so far as related to the contract between Worthington and the state, his remedy would be in damages for breach of the contract, and not an injunction against the company entering upon the lands purchased from the state in which he had no interest. The decree against him was therefore affirmed.
The Federal question set up in the assignment of errors was precisely the same as in the other cases, and the issues which arise from such assignments are the only ones called to our attention by counsel. The judgment of the Supreme Court is therefore affirmed.
