RUHsTRAT v. PEOPLE.
Supreme Court of Illinois.
April II. 1910.


April II, 1900.
A LAW PROHIBITING THE USE OF
THE NATIONAL FLAG OR EN-
BLEM FOR COMMERCIAL PUR-
POSES OR AS AN ADVERTISING
MEDIUM, IS UNCONSTITUTION-
AL ANDs VOID.
Act of Apritt22;Fa S99, prohibiting the
use OF the national flag. for CONNER
cial or advertising purposes, and APP
pealcd. He used pictures Nof the ma
tional flag upon cigarboX labels, for
the purpose OF advertising and selling
certain brands of cigars by means of
such advertisement.
The court says:
The plaintiff in error was engaged in
the wholesale and retail cigar bust
ness This was certainly II lawful bus
mess. Under the authorities referred
to. and under the Interpretation OF the
Constitution there made, plaintiff in
error had not only the right 10 choose
the business in which he was engaged
as his occupation. but he had the right
to pursue and carry on that business
in any way and by any methods which
were lawful and proper. In these days
of commercial enterprise, advertising
Is an important factor in business pur-
suits. 1t cannot be denied that the
plaintiff In error had the right to adj
vertise his business In any legitimate
manner, so as to attract the attention
OF the public. Nor can it be denied
that the plaintim in error had the right
to design and make use of trade
mark. The use of trade marks is as
old as commerce itself. 1t is allowable
TO use a picture as q trade mark, and
Il picture made up of many objects in
many colorS may be Il trademark.
The right of the citizen to pursue
the calling which he has chosen, and to
advertise his business in n legitimate
way by the use of labels or trade
marks, is not improperly exercised by
making picture of the national flag Il
part of such labels or trademarks, I'M
less thereby the public safety, welfare
or comfort is intcrfercd with. The use
of the flag of the United. States as en-
bodied in advertising sheets and pla-
cards and labels, and in common law
trademarks. has received the unquali-
fed approval of the whole commercial
world. The usage and practice of en-
ploying flag for commercial purposes
have been INDUCED in-t5-eittHens with
the knowledge of the national govern
ment. The absence of congressional
prohibition against the usage and prac-
tice thus INDUCED in has created Il
privilege" in the citizen of the Uni
ted States to continue such use until
withdrawn by competent authority.
An act of Legislation passed by par
ticuIar State. which depriycs the citi-
zen of such privilege contravenes that
clause of the amendment To the ma
tional constitution, which forbids any
State to abridge the privileges and i'm
munties of a citizen of the United
States.
We are of the opinion that this law
Is unconstitutional, not only as in
fringing upon the personal liberty
guaranteed to the citizen by both the
Federal and State constitutions, but
also as depriving citizen of the Uni
ted States of the right to exercise n
privilege implicitly. if not expressly,
granted to him by the Federal consti-
tuition. Reversed.

GILLESPIE v. COLEMAN.


June Ii, 1900.
AN APPEAL CANNOT BE TAKEN
FROM AN ORDER SUSTAINING
DEMURRER TO A DECLARA-
TION. THERE BEING NO JUDO
AIENT DISMISSING THE CASE.
The court says:
From some chancery orders, though
there is no final decree in the case,
1t is pronounced by statute that an
appeal may be taken. But the statute
makes no provision for n writ of err
ror in an action at law until there is
final judgment.
The sustaining or overrulinE OF a
demurrer to u declaration is not final.
To make 1t final in the former case,
there must be n judgment of dismiss
sal; and In the latter. n judgment for
the amount or thing sought to be re-
covered. or some order which puts an
end to the case.
For anything that appears in the
record this case is still pending in the
trial court. and another amended de-
claration might be filed there, and fur
Their proceedings had IN the case.
No final judgment having been rem
dered In the case, this writ of error
must be dismissed as improvidently
awarded. Dismissed.

1t was not until 4 o'clock that Chair
man Richardson, turning from a con-
ference with Governor McMillin and
Senator White. picked up the Eavel
and brought the convention to order.
The Platform Committee. headed by
Senator Jones, d. j. Campau, Senator
Tillman and Judge VanWyck. had just
pushed their way through the dense
throng. and proceeding to the platform
had taken seats banking the chair
man. Mr.. Richardson appealed long
and vainly for order. The portly form
of Senator Jones, silver haired and Sc
rious. advanced to the front of the
stage. He held n roll of manuscript in
his hands But it was useless to talk
against such tumult. and he dropped
back into his seat until order was re-
stored.
At last the noise subsidized. and Mr..
Jones. in clear voice, announced: ~

Resolutions to present the platform

Then followed g stirring and dra

ward the Beers had called out immense
applause. but when ii was announced
by Chairman Richardson that the con-
vention would be addressed by Hon.
