the supreme court have such weak voices that
not even the men closest to them can catch what
they say and everybody must wait until the oecl
sion can be read before knowing what II means
This inability or perhaps lack of desire on the
part of some of the justices to read out loud is
great trial to the newspaper correspondents VINO
are anxious to telegraph the news of the decision
at the earliest moment possible. There other
troubles which beset the correspondents as Well
as those which come from the poor enunc1atlon
and the weak voices of some OF the Justices
Legal language is the hardest kind of language
for the layman to understand, and the result is
that when the decision is read the first part Of
occasionally makes it seem certain that one side
has won the case, while the tail end of the dec1
sion may reverse everything and give the case
to the other side.
There was one striking instance of this in
The city of Chicago trying to effect changes
in it's street-car system. The street-car compa-
MES held that their franchise was good for l0O
years and that the city could not GUST them from
any of their privileges under their franchise The
case went to the Supreme court and was of tre-
mendous interest to all the cities in the United
States Moreover, the speculative interests of
the country we're awaiting the decision with the
keenest anxiety and interest, for if it went one
way 1t meant that certain stocks still would be
of great value, and If it went the other way it
means that they would be worth little.
The decision was read in the Supreme court
by a Judge who had a good voice Everybody
had made up his mind that if the Supreme court
decided that the railroad companies had hun
dred years franchise they had won the case and
that the city had lost. This was regarded as the
crucial feature of the W hole controversy
The newspaper correspondents from the great
cities were in attendance at the court when the
decision was read and they were ready to
dispatch messengers instantly to the telegraph
office with a brief dispatch saying either "The
companies wn" or The city wins" This was
all that was to be sent out at the first instance
for the situation understood In every news
paper office in the country and a single tip as to
which side would be sufficient to release
long stories of the railroad controversy and other
stories already written of what the victory meant
