Does the Constitution Protect Free Speech
Many thoughtful men and women, witnessing the suppression of speech, by means both judicial and extra-judicial, in the period through which we have just passed, have reluctantly concluded that our hard won ight of freedom of speech has been lost, swept away in the flood tide of war enthusiasm. They point to the example of the recent candidate for the presidency, Eugene Debs, who is still confined in a federal prison for words he uttered during the war. They call attention to the fact that the fate of Mr. Debs is no worse than that of scores of other persons, members of his and other minority groups, who have gone to jail since April, 1917, for giving utterance to unpopular opinions. Finally, they show us awidespread wave of anti-disturbance legislation among our state legislatures during and immediately after the wa
Landowner\u27s Duty to Strangers on His Premises - As Developed in the Iowa Decisions
It is one thing to know a general rule of common law. It is another to know the application of the general rule, its variations and-exceptions, in a particular state. Both are important. Without the first, the lawyer becomes the mere tradesman. Worse than that for him, he is often helpless, for with all the gray mule and spotted cow cases to which a benevolent digester directs him he does not sense the legally significant facts so that he can recognize an authority when he sees it. Without the second, even the lawyer with a grasp of fundamentals is at a disadvantage, for a single local case may upset the whole, course of a carefully reasoned analysis. This and other discussions of Iowa law which appear in the pages of this magazine are published with the hope that an exposition and analysis of local decisions will be helpful to the profession. In general they blaze no new paths in jurisprudence. If they aid in a better understanding of what we already have their publication is justified
