Drafted men cannot prevent the

which Emma Goldman and others
were involved dealt with conspir-

casss dealt with the constitutional
ity of the law itself.
.cox's case questioned the right of
the government TO send a drafted
man abroad, because of the consti-
tutional provision that militiamen
snail not be sent out of the coun-
try unless volunteering to 80.
The appellant held that. under
this provision. even though draft

however. he was sent abroad. and
then his council strove to have Gen.
Wood cited for contempt on the ground
that Cox had been sent abroad with
out notice to council.
Chief Justice White, In handing down
the opinion. said that the draft act
was not based upon the provision in
question. but upon provisions giving
Congress the right to declare war and
raise armies-to take steps without

Certain paragraphs OF the appellants .
brief criticising the draft law had been
declared by the government, through
John ". Davis. the solicitor-general to
be "scandalous, and the request was
made that these be stricken from the
record.
Yesterday Chief Justice White
agreed that the paragraphs were
"scandalous" but he refused to have
them stricken from the record, taking
the stand that IL they were left in

more inclined to dispense with them
