Argument Closed in the Case of Cowan

III the Supreme court yesterday
morning Judge Winston concluded the
argument for the plaintiff in the
case of Cowan VS.. Fairbrother
He said the old rule was that con-
tract which embraced a whole State
was in restaint of trade This arose
from, the facts, 1st, OF the doctrine of
State sovereignty, whereby if man
agreed not to carry on his trade in the
State, he partially expatriated him

country was then sparsely settled and

Bradley. ofsthe Supreme court of the
United States t2tst Wallace), in 1871,
exploded this doctrine and the rule
to-day in every State in the Union is
that contract by which party, for
q valuable consideration, binds him
self for a limited number of years not
to carry on his business or trade with
in q State, is reasonable and enforceable
in the courts provided SO much ferri-
tory is necessary for the protection of
the contracting party. Two cases III

contracts with reference to the period
of ten years time, the place being the
city in which the business was carried

la reply to the contention of the de-
PENDANT that the contract in the case
interfered with the freedom of the
press, he demonstrated that this pro-
vision in the Constitution of the Uni
ted State and the Constitution of this
State was intended primarily to pro-
tect freedom of speech and to prevent
indictments by despotic officers for
utterances which might be conceived
to be constructive treason.
The first point presented was illus
trated by opinions from the courts OF
last resort in nearly every State in the
Union, as well as by citations from
every textbook that treats of the sub
ject in any way. 1T was an exceptional
ly able and logical argument.
