IT HAPPENED IN PALESTINE, by

even when Americans began to cross

the first tourist cruise to leave these

Readers Of "Innocents Abroad" will
recall that 1t was this first cruise
which Mark Twain accompanied as
newspaper reporter in 1867. Since
then we have read the stories Of many
travellers to Palestine, and with a few
exceptions they have not only wearied

Neither communism nor fascism will

Mr.. Ellis writes in the introduction
to the new issue Of his Soul Of

years has held its place as one OF the
keenest appreciations of the Spanish
genius. The publishers, Houghton,

this reissue Of what is probably the
best book ever written on that now
strife-rent peninsula. The book Is
not put forward as an indiscriminate
recommendation to visit Spain, for
Spain is not an easy land to COM

to welcome its lovers as Of old; but

are castles in Spain," and hospi-

has undergone many changes and
its features lined with new cares and
joys. Its soul is yet that which inspired
its past and which cannot die.

caught the issue early out in Illi- .nois and used it to, the hilt against Douglas in their famous debates. The lanky Illinois lawyer announced boldly the nation should decline to abide by the decision.
 Lincoln Speaks Out
 We think the courts decisions, when fully settled, should control not only the particular cases de- cided but the general policy of the country he argued. But we think the Dred Scott decision is erroneous"
 The towering Fancy, austere, now somewhat stopped. but firm. silent ly held his ground, and it is small wonder that the war was only a few months old before he ran into trouble with the equally determined Lincoln.
 The first skirmish came when the military forces arrested John Merrymsn and imprisoned him in Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, on charges Of raising rebel forces.
 The prisoner asked for a writ of habeas corpus and got it from Fancy, who was sitting as Circuit Court Judge. By authority of Lin coin, the army declined to pro- duce the prisoner. Promptly Fancy

estored to the authority and rank which the constitution intended to confer upon it."
 Score Stands Even
 The fact remained that Lincoln gained his immediate ends - and the Supreme Court was discredited temporarily in the public eye. Years were to elapse before the greatness of Fancy as Chief Justice would be recognized.
 The score of the contests be- tween the Supreme Court and the Presidents then stood at two-all and one draw. Washington and Jef- ferson had lost; Jackson and Lin coin had won.
 Historians may argue at length about the draw. but the fact re- mains that both sides could claim a victory The contenders were Pres ident Martin Van Buren, Jackson's political heir to the White House and a much younger Roger B Fancy.
 Van Buren charged the court was invading Executive authority wher it awarded damages to postal con- tractors whose contracts had beer revoked by Jackson. But his pride was salved when the justices found occasion not long afterward to as- sert the Presidents authority wa. inviolate in his performance of Exc cutive duties.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-03-02

held the Fort McHenry command in contempt. This decision likewise was ignored.
 Fancy Strikes Back | The Chief Justice then proceeded j to write an opinion pointing out that the Civil Courts were still clothed with full authority. He sent a copy to the President.
 Shortly after he took this de- cisive step, the 84-year-old justice remarked on leaving home for court one day:
 Tt is likely will be imprisoned at Fort McHenry myself before nightfall, but I am going to court to do my duty
 Lincoln merely obtained an opin- ion from his Attorney General that the President, as Commander in Chief of the Army, was acting for the public safety Taney's orders were ignored
 Meanwhile, the harassed Presi- dent was absorbed in the war, and allowed three vacancies to accumu- late in the high tribunal by 1862.
 Lincoln Wins
 Whatever the reason, Lincoln sud- denly turned his attention to the empty seats, and sent the Senate three nominations which were ap- proved in rapid order.
 Before the Court were the fa- nous prize cases" involving the right of the union to blockade southern ports. When the decision came down. Lincoln,s three new justices swung the tide, and the union won. The margin was to 4.
 The third and last encounter be- tween the Lincoln administratio ton and the tenacious Fancy was a minor difference over the deduc- tion by the treasury of per cent of the justices salaries-par of a government wide war economy measure.
 Fancy protested in vain.
 T see no hope" he wrote des- pairingly to friend .'that the Su- preme Court will ever again be
