Nashville now and then: You watch your mouth
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has not always had a whole lot of meaning in these parts.
Published August 5, 2007 by E. Thomas Wood
This week in the Nashville of 1918, and also of 1835, saying things that most people disagreed with could get you into big trouble.
On August 8, 1918, Vincent H. Huck was convicted in Davidson County Criminal Court of "seditious utterances." He was sentenced to a fine of $500, as well as six months in the workhouse. Huck had been arrested in May by federal agents for violating the Sedition Act of 1918, signed earlier that month by President Woodrow Wilson.
As assistant district manager of a local threshing machine company — and the Wisconsin-born son of German immigrants — Huck was reported to have insulted a woman who came to the office soliciting funds for the American Red Cross. Employees told investigators that they considered Huck pro-German and that he had not allowed Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamp brochures to be posted in the workplace.
Huck was reportedly overheard saying that the U.S. was in the war just to save the British government and telling a businessman that his company's letterhead was "yellow just like your friend Wilson."
The president had urged the passage of the Sedition Act, prohibiting the utterance of "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the U.S. government, flag, or armed forces during the war. Wilson argued that open dissent constituted an internal threat against the country. He pushed for the legislation after popular discontent over the war played a major role in the fall of the czarist empire in Russia and that country's withdrawal, in 1918, from the military alliance against Germany.
Was that threat so pressing that the obnoxious Mr. Huck needed to be removed from society? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the Sedition Act in 1919. The words of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in that decision yielded a new phrase in American parlance: "clear and present danger." Holmes wrote:
"The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that the United States Congress has a right to prevent. It is a question of proximity and degree. When a nation is at war, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right."
The last trace of Vincent Huck found in the public record is his registration for the military draft, submitted a month after he was sentenced. It gives a mailing address care of an attorney's office.

HISTORY
MAY 16, 1918 : U.S. CONGRESS PASSES SEDITION ACT
On May 16, 1918, the United States Congress passes the Sedition Act, a piece of legislation designed to protect America’s participation in World War I.
Along with the Espionage Act of the previous year, the Sedition Act was orchestrated largely by A. Mitchell Palmer, the United States attorney general under President Woodrow Wilson. The Espionage Act, passed shortly after the U.S. entrance into the war in early April 1917, made it a crime for any person to convey information intended to interfere with the U.S. armed forces’ prosecution of the war effort or to promote the success of the country’s enemies.
Aimed at socialists, pacifists and other anti-war activists, the Sedition Act imposed harsh penalties on anyone found guilty of making false statements that interfered with the prosecution of the war; insulting or abusing the U.S. government, the flag, the Constitution or the military; agitating against the production of necessary war materials; or advocating, teaching or defending any of these acts. Those who were found guilty of such actions, the act stated, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both. This was the same penalty that had been imposed for acts of espionage in the earlier legislation.
Though Wilson and Congress regarded the Sedition Act as crucial in order to stifle the spread of dissent within the country in that time of war, modern legal scholars consider the act as contrary to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution, namely to the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. One of the most famous prosecutions under the Sedition Act during World War I was that of Eugene V. Debs, a pacifist labor organizer and founder of the International Workers of the World (IWW) who had run for president in 1900 as a Social Democrat and in 1904, 1908 and 1912 on the Socialist Party of America ticket.
After delivering an anti-war speech in June 1918 in Canton, Ohio, Debs was arrested, tried and sentenced to 10 years in prison under the Sedition Act. Debs appealed the decision, and the case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where the court ruled Debs had acted with the intention of obstructing the war effort and upheld his conviction. In the decision, Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes referred to the earlier landmark case of Schenck v. United States (1919), when Charles Schenck, also a Socialist, had been found guilty under the Espionage Act after distributing a flyer urging recently drafted men to oppose the U.S. conscription policy. In this decision, Holmes maintained that freedom of speech and press could be constrained in certain instances, and that The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.
Debs’ sentence was commuted in 1921 when the Sedition Act was repealed by Congress. Major portions of the Espionage Act remain part of United States law to the present day, although the crime of sedition was largely eliminated by the famous libel case Sullivan v. New York Times (1964), which determined that the press’s criticism of public officials—unless a plaintiff could prove that the statements were made maliciously or with reckless disregard for the truth—was protected speech under the First Amendment.

Galileo's Battle for the Heavens
Witness Galileo's famous struggle to persuade church authorities of the truth behind his discoveries about the cosmos. Aired October 29, 2002 on PBS
NARRATOR: If, like a galloping steed, the earth is hurtling through space, why can't we feel the movement? Galileo seized on the paradox that the Earth could spin on its axis fast enough to cause day and night without people sensing the motion.
JULIAN BARBOUR: What is really exciting about Galileo and you see it exactly the same in Einstein, too, was the way he, he, he picked up what seemed to be an absolute impossibility. He said, "we have this incredibly strong evidence that the Earth is not moving. Everything that our senses tell us, is that the Earth is not moving, and yet Copernicus has got these rather strong arguments from astronomy to suggest that the Earth is moving." So then, Galileo says, "Well, this actually should tell us something very deep about how nature works."
NARRATOR: So he devised an intriguing thought experiment. He used a horse to represent the motion of the earth. If a rider dropped a ball while standing still, the ball would, of course, fall straight down, landing beside the horse. But what would happen if the same rider dropped the ball with the horse at full gallop?
In Galileo's experiment, the forward motion of the horse would be communicated to the ball through the rider's hand. As the ball dropped, it would continue to move forward, and would still land beside the horse, just as it had done when the horse stood still.
To Galileo, when the horse and the ball shared the same motion, it was as if the motion did not exist. If the Earth were moving, could we be carried along with it and not be conscious of its motion?
JULIAN BARBOUR: There is a sort of a principle of relativity where, if you're sort of moving with the Earth, everything shares the same motion. Not only is the Earth moving, but I'm sharing that motion as well. And, therefore, it is all hidden.
It was probably the first really great thought experiment in, in physics. He, he, in fact, he was so confident of the result, he never even bothered to do the experiment to show it was right.
