Grosscup's Standard Oil Decision.
A newspaper writer has described
the action of the Court in setting aside
the fine of twenty-nine millions against
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
as "done unanimously, enthusiastically
and boisterously and with a fury of ex
pression quite unusual," and it is to be
regretted that a reading of the opin
ion makes such language at all applica
ble and that the opinion does lack in
that dignity of expression that should
characterize a court of review in mak
ing public its reasons for reaching a
conclusion so important to the parties
in interest as well as to the public.
The reasons given by the court will re
main the subject of criticism, for it is
unfortunately true that' there are hun
dreds of persons serving sentences for
life, or for a shorter period, who were con
victed upon the same rules of evidence
that Judge Landis applied'in the trial
of this case, and which the Court of
Appeals hold was error. The fury of
expression which the writer before re
ferred to saw in the court's opinion,
appears in itB discussion of the size of
the inflicted penalty and that phase of
the case is also unfortunate
in its probable effect upon the public
mind for, while the fine was large in
the aggregate it covered a great num
ber of alleged violations of the law ex
tending over along period, and when
compared with penalties which the
court inflicts daily for the ordinary
statutory crimes, multiplied to meet a
persistant course of crime would not
appear an unreasonable apportionment
by such comparison. There is a dan
ger in the impassioned view that the
public is taking in this case and its
outcome of a loss of that respect for
the courts which always has and should
be maintained as a safeguard to our
institutions.
In this connection we should keep in
mind the destinction between qjur dual
judicial system, the state and federal.
For our state courts the judges are
selected by popular vote and through
that system it has been possible to ob
tain judges of high character and at
tainments, and who have kept their
judicial acts above criticism. The Fed
eral judge holds office under appoint
ment by the president of the United
States, and it is unfortunately true
that the judges of the several tribunals
of the Federal judiciary have been the
subjects of more unfavorable discussion
than those of the state judiciary. The
appointment Of the judges made by
president McKinley have been quite
openly discussed, and the charge made
with 'great persistence that while
president he was engaged in packing
the Federal bench in the interest. of
the beneficiaries of the late decision,
andi other great corporations. It is
probable that if any foundations ex
ist for this belief that it grew out of
the appointment largely by president
McKinley of lawyers who had devoted
their practice to the service of corpora
tions and had perhaps in part uncon
sciously taken on an attitude of par
tiality for these great concerns. Pres
ident Roosevelt has not been subject
to this criticism and has been making

his selections from men learned in the
law whose attitude was impartial and
with the temper of the people where
it is, any president elected hereafter
is likely to make an effort through his
appointments to guard against the dis
cussion that has followed this remarka
ble decisipn. So jnstead of losing faith
in the integrity and ability of the
courts in general, let us all recognize
that they are generally upright and
that whenever wrong the wrong can be
corrected under our form of govern
ment through the patriotic perform
ance of duty upon the part of all good
citizens and remember always that
one of the most important functions
that devolves upon any president is his
selection of men for these high posit
ions. In this way we learn to recog
nize the importance to each of his indi
vidual vote. COM.
