Glumbses Through Gotham Goqqles
By Glenn GuernSeu

NEW YORK, July 17.-Monsieur
FRANCOIS Marie Arouet de Voltaire,
requiescat in pace. Permission has
been granted and duly sealed, signed
and delivered in a legal decision
handed down by Justice Seabury of
the New York supreme court. Having
been freed of the grave charges
against him, the st,eat F'renchman may
now resume his Place in the worlds

Mr.. Quinn was defendant in a suit
instituted by the st. Hubert Guild
of Akron, O., to recover $500 alleged
to be dues on a 43-volume set of Vol
taire's wo,-ks. Mr.. Quinn didn't want
to pay, and set up as a defense the al
legation that the books of the dis
tinguished Frenchman are unfit for the
prayerful perusal of the proverbial
innocent young person. Had not An
thony Comstock declared that Vol
taire's works are immoral and placed
them under the ban of his private in
dex expl, gatorius? And is not Tony
a competent literary critic and the
worlds greatest authority on immor-
ality?
The municipal court upheld Mr..
Of Voltaire seemed eternally lost. 1t
remained for Justice Seabury to re-
verse this decision. 1t has been said
that NO American can understand
Voltaire," but the learned justice was
not deferred by this statement from
making the following remarks:
1T is not at all incOnc eivable and
has frequently been the case that the
works which receive the condemna
ton of one generation are the OBJ
jects of Veneration and praise of an
other Courts will take the same
knowledge as the community at large
in matters of literature, and We can
not fail to recognize that the genius of
Voltaire has enriched many fields Of
knowledge.
1.-The object of the law which pro-
hibits the sale or publication of i'm
moral literature is to prevent the cir
dulation of literature which is hurt

rule so as TO prohibit the sale or pub

Many international champions have
expressed a willingness to participate
in an outdoor race under electric
light, where they would not be han
dicapped by the hot sun, and at the
same time be favored by an ocean

a new worlds record may result.

as a fund for maintaining it's control
of the city. Employees of the Tammany-

learned that it is unwise not to in

charges made in a circular just Is
