JUSTICE HARLAN - THE GREAT COMMONER
A Tribute by Victor Murdock.

there" nro few, if nny, is station hiph
enough to be known of men.

wiped it out of existence.

Pacific west. Harlan took the sim
ple view and again dissented.
This also was Harlan's act, one
of tho last of his life, when he
wrote Jiis famous opinion, in the
trust cases Standard Oil and To
bacco. Tho majority opinion, that
of all the judges save Harlan, re
inains difficult, involved and
crowded with logical refinements
which six months after the decree.
and despite a nation's scrutiny, have
left the business world jierplexed,
and the business world's counsel at
har timorously vague and uncertain.
Hut Harlan said that the words in
precedent by Hie aid of much of lb I tho Sherman law meant what they
mortor of obiter dicta in between i said, and not what the emohasis of
the jagged surfaces, Harlan hung to
fundamentals, send ordinary mean
ings into ordinary words and drew
big, black, straight lines in between
right and wrong.
This wns his net when the su
preme court refined the vitality out
of the old railroad rate law. Harlan
dissented simply, forcibly, briefly.
This also was his act when the
supreme, court, In a decision, lot
down the bars in tho land laws
whereby combination of holdings
wns made possible for the monopo
lists in natural resources In the
the judiciary upon this word or that
attempted to make them mean.
It would be interesting to know
what the other justices of the high
tribunal thought of Harlan. That it
ipoible of course, except ' for
those in tho intimate supreme circle,
but the eh ances are that his asso
ciates looked upon him as n man of
extraordinarily vigorous political
convictions, and to that extent un
able to deol in judicial refinements,
and therefore not really fitted for
the judiciary.
Harlan had. hack of his judicial
career, experience on tho stump. I to
had .stood on the dry goods box at
tho husking, ho had met people face
to face, and he knew Hiein for hu
an beings moved bv tho great nation
al aspiration for the perfection of
liberty. It remained always impos
sible for him to look upon tho peo
plo in terms of mere population, a
numerical, impersonal mass, inci
dental, as automatic producers and
consumers, to Properly.
Tho man's mentality had a curi
ously accurate reflection in his
j physical makeup. His form, tall,
topped with a bigh head on a long
neck, called instantly to mind . the
traditional statoman-orator of the
period before the war, tho orator
who had eloquence, argument, wit,
logic ami bubbling red blood, who
gloried in meeting nil comers.
Justice Harlan, more than other
justices, wns a familiar figure
around Washington. Ho walked
much, and shopped a deal. Kven as
a very old man he liked to stop and
sip fleeting pleasure from the glit
tering show windows.
Aim lie craved company. In my
mind I vhall always recall him as 1
saw him at a bampiet. The enter
tainment included n negro song bv
a good basso. The song was an
ancient one, with a stirring swing to
it. and its burden was to the effect
that while ham-bone was sweet, and
chicken very, very fine, the one
grew viand in the world in the opin
ion of the singer was watermelon
banging on the vine.
The singer was recalled again mid
again, and he who led in the ap
plause, in fact inspired it, was the
old, straight, tall man with the long
neck nnd the high brow, who sat
well up in front, glowing in glee
over some memory of his own youth
the old man whose death Saturdny
made most of the American citizens
feel that they had lost one who un
derstood them, one who held high
place and remained a friend.

"HIS ABSENT BOY" WILL
BE IN MEDFORD SOON
An actress prominent in the west
ern states was reported not long
ngo to have delivered herself of the
dictum that there are no good clean
virile plays being written by the
dramatists of the day. The saying
wns shown to Ilnrry CVjrson Clarke,
and he denied it at once. "It's n'l
nonense," he said, "there are lots
of clean plays being written today,
but the thing is that you have to
pay for them. I never hnve played,
and never will appear in a problem
play. My own belief is that what
the public wants is comedy, good
clean comedy, with lots of good
wholesome mirth provoking fun." It
Is in the natural course of events
then thai the comedian should bo
presenting again this season his
great hit, "His Absent Hoy." Prob
ably no piece yet produced contains
so many really funny situations, or
so much to rouse the lnughter of an
audience. Sydney Rosenfeld ex
perienced maker of comedies as he
is. has excelled himself in this piny
which pies with lnughter all the time,
and yet contains neither risque situ
ations, not- vulgar dialogue.
