in a Newspaper
Contempt Suit

The case OF the Toledo News
paper Company, in error, KS. ths
United States, was decided June 10,
1918. The newspaper was held in
contempt by a lower court for writ
ing articles concerning the action
Of the court in granting an iniunc-
ton to streetcar company seeking
to restrain the enforcement by the
city of three-cent fare ordinance
on the expiration Of its franchise
Chief Justice White affirmed this
action of the court. The contempt
was found by the lower court on the
ground that the newspaper had
tried to create III impression that
the decision as to granting an in
junction could be found IN only one
way, that the newspaper melted the
public mind to bring pressure 10
bear on the court, and that it meant
to cause the court TO shrink from
performing It's duty because of the
possible turmoil and violence that
might follow The chief justice re-
viewed these proceedings ard con-
cluded that the contempt action was
correct ''since no other
course under the statement is posi-
bic compatibly with the sacred obi
cation of courts to preserve their
right to discharge their duties free
from unlawful and unworthy infu-
ences, and in doing so, if needs be,
to clear from the pathway leading
to the performance of this great
duty all unwarranted attempts to
pervert, obstruct or distort judg-
ment."
Justices Day and Clarke took no
part in the proceedings.
Justice Holmes dissented and JUS
tice Brandeis concurred in the dis
sent.
Justice Holmes wrote that "a
Judge OF the United States is ex-
pected to be a man Of ordinary
tirmness of character, and l find 1t
impossible to believe that such
judge could have found IN anyrnIng
that was printed even tendency 70
prevent his performing his sworn
duty" The statement of the Judge
himself, Justice Holmes went on 70
say, was "enough to show that there
was no emergency, that there was
nothing that warranted a finding
that the administration of justice
was obstructed or a resort to TINS
summary proceeding. a"
tion like the present, in my opinion
is wholly unwarranted by even cow
of law"
New-York tribune., 1918-07-14
New Science and
Old Precedent


viewed by the Supreme Court in re-
cent years, more than in any other
place, there is evident the inclination
of the law to desert reasoning from
established axioms alone and to turn
toward the laboratory method, the
examination of reality itself. The
physical sciences have long estab-
lishcd this method, and it has exer-
clsed an unmeasured influence over
the arts. Modern commentators on
the law tend more and more to de-
clare that the law must be measured
by the facts of life itself, and that
the law moves, grows, as life moves
and grows.
The significance of this comment in
the present instance lies chiefly in
the fact that two present members
Of the Supreme Bench have been
closely related TO the formation of
these opinions and their expression.
One of these men is Justice
holmes, whom many students of
the law consider the greatest au-
thority on the English common law
either in England or America, and
his best known work, "The Common
Law" printed in the late sos, dis
closes on present reading an inter-
eating vision Of the turn the law
has taken in its social development
since that time. The remark that
the lawyer Of the next generation
would be more an economist than
legahst is generally attributed to
him.
Much of the early prestige of JUS
tee Holmes rested on his manifest
desire to modify the common law in
order to conserve human rights
where they we've balanced with prop
crty rights. The English property
law, based on conditions widely diff
ferent from those prevailing in the
modern world, is the archaic branch
Of the law. 1t was made to conserve
to the utmost limits the right of
the individual to control property
against all interference by larger
groups Of society. The tendency to
modify this law to fit modern condi-
tions began with men like Holmes.
1t was already apparent when JUS
tice Holmes sat on the Supreme
Bench of Massachusetts,. Again and
again in "The Common Law "
he pointed out "the history of the
law is a formal expression of the
development of society,"" and that the

important Decisions
Show Equal Division

The situation in the Supreme
Court at the present time, where
important decisions are made by a
court almost evenly divided, has
tended to cause remembrance of the
fact that the Supreme Court has
evolved naturally. President Taft.

One Of these was Charles Evans
Hughes. The two who still remain
are Justices Pitney and Van Devan-
ter. President Taft also made JUS
tice White the chief justice. there
hy breaking \ precedent which had
always brought the chief justice in
from outside the court.
This history of the past is almost
necessary to an understanding of
the court as it stands. The chief

though back of it is a general theory

SOLDIERS HAPPY
Kindly Sentiment More Desired by
Army Men Than Purchased
Articles

Mrs. j. r. Stephenson has received
a letter from her son, Dwight, form
err w. S. c. student, from which the
following extracts are taken:
Kelly Field,
Jan. 16, 1918
| certainly am ashamed that | have
not written for so long, but to tell
the truth have not had time to even
turn around, We are attending
school now and l am in the airplane
section. We are learning how to set
up, tear down, and repair planes.
The course takes from two to three
weeks and when we are through we
are expected to go right into the field
and know what to do and how to
do it.
The work is intensely interesting
and | am going into it for all l am
worth, for if l make good l am in
line for a good non-com. job.
We go to school seven hours a day
and are relieved from all K. p. You
know what K. P. means by this time
no doubt. We are doing the actual
work and there is very little book
work. We have a good instructor
and he is very good friend of mine,
as he is an old w. S. c. man. He
was in school last year and the year
before. His name is Rice-you re-
mem Der him?
We are being moved from our bar
racks to tents tomorrow. We are
expecting to leave any day and the
move presages a very early leaving.
In my last letter you mentioned
one of the girls putting in some to-
bacco in her box. Let me tell you
what l have found from my personal
observation. The average soldier
does not want tobacco, at least not in
this country. | don't know how they
feel about it in France. But the sol
diers here want something that has
home touch to it. The tobacco,
candy, etc, has too much of COM
mercialism about it. They figure
that tobacco requires nothing but the
exertion of paying for it and send
ing it. What they want is something
that has a touch of sentim ent to it.
Now l am not knocking the tobacco
trade or anything like it, and ! APP
preciate the cigars that are sent me
because | know who they are from
and their feelings toward me, but
when man gets something from
someone he doesn't know, things that
are bought seem just a little flat and
some of the enjoyment is therefore
lost.
We had terrible dust storm the
other night, followed by a binding
hail blizzard. | was up all night.
The lieutenant and | each borrowed
pair of goggles and put on our
overcoats. He had two powerful
search lights. He gave me one and
we sailed forth to pull in fellows who
were lost during the dust storm and
blizzard. Twelve men were lost.
don't know how many were rescued
by other parties. SO you can see
what kind of weather we are having
There was a foot of snow, which fel!
after the wind had gone down.
