WILLIAM HENRY MOODY

I have tried to write about this matter without any improper bias, but of course we are all cowards about newspapers who tyrannize over us all.

…every single count which came to trial “hurt the company altogether out of proportion to any punishment”; it produced “a wave of indignation…from one end of the land to the other”.

We find that fraud in election is an old ulcer … it is too old, it is too malignant, to warrant any generous surgery. We have got to cut it out if healthy flesh comes with it. If we do disfranchise now and then an honest elector it is really for his own benefit and the benefit of his own State and county.

It does not follow … that a procedure settled in English law at the time of the emigration, and brought to this country and practiced by our ancestors, is an essential element of due process of law. If that were so, the procedure of the first half of the 17th century would be fastened upon the American jurisprudence like a straightjacket, only to be unloosed by constitutional amendment

It was an argument of rare power and eloquence.

At the conclusion of my argument I received very high compliments from the Chief Justice and later from other of the Judges. What they said I do not care to repeat.

…diligently investigate all complaints which may come to you from any source…and upon your own initiative of violations of the Elkins Act which prohibited “rebates and other discriminatory practices” on the part of corporations.

It is always well to get near to men of genius.

The very air in which you live is an inspiration.

I am one of the crucified dead.
