 "JOHN MARSHALL DAY." 
 
 *'A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles 
 of civil g-overnment is absolutely necessary to preserve the 
 blessinefs of liberty." 
 
 NUMEROUS inquiries have reached the writer of this 
 pamphlet as to the object of "John Marshall Day," 
 although that object was plainly expressed in the original 
 proposition submitted to the Illinois State Bar Associa- 
 tion at its last annual session. That proposition had but 
 one object — the commemoration of the centennial anni- 
 versary of the day when John Marshall of Virginia took 
 his seat as Chief Justice of the United States at Wash- 
 ington, on February 4th, 1801. The idea was and is to 
 commemorate this smgle day as a purely educational 
 force for the present generation, and some of the good 
 results expected have already been partially attained. 
 
 George Ticknor Curtis, in his work on the Constitu- 
 tional History of the United States, closes his preface by 
 saying : ''Perhaps some future Gibbon, centuries hence, 
 will write the 'Decline and Fall of the American Repub- 
 lic' Let us hope, however, that in the meantime some- 
 thing will be done for the welfare of mankind ; that some 
 still greater improvements will have been made in the 
 science of government and that if the decadence of our 
 institutions must be recorded, the way will have been pre- 
 pared for better ones to take their place." 
 
 The John Marshall movement is aimed to be one of 
 the instrumentalities of the present generation of lawyers

 to preserve the blessing of civil government in the United 
 States. So far as the legal profession may be a factor 
 in this matter, every effort should be made to make the 
 occasion the means of treasuring the wisdom of Mar- 
 shall's genius. In this way the science of government 
 which he helped to establish will be made permanent. 
 The American and English press have to a large extent 
 discussed the important part which Chief Justice Mar- 
 shall assumed and carried out in the upbuilding of the 
 American Constitution, by an interpretation and construc- 
 tion which gave strength and harmony to the Great 
 Charter of American liberty. Since this movement 
 started, the bench and bar of the United States have vied 
 with each other in refreshing their recollections of Mar- 
 shall, and it is safe to say that more is now known of 
 the invaluable work of the great American jurist than 
 before. 
 
 During the next twelve months this information, so 
 educational and far-reaching in its mfluence, will have a 
 much greater audience. The entire nation will have the 
 opportunity to start the century with a new reading and 
 estimation of the national heritage, more lasting than brass 
 or stone. 
 
 HOW TO CELEBRATE THE DAY. 
 
 Many inquiries from earnest and zealous men have 
 reached me as to how to celebrate John Marshall Day. 
 The American Bar Association, through the Hon. W. W. 
 Howe, has stated the object in a circular address which 
 has been heralded through the land by the courtesy of 
 the Associated Press. That address stated in part as 
 follows: "The American Bar Association leaves the 
 execution of this national celebration in the hands of 
 the courts and the public bodies named, and it expresses
 
 How to Celebrate ''John Marshall Day.'' 5 
 
 the sincere hope that the celebration be national in its 
 character and imposing in its extent and fervor, and that 
 it may have the hearty support of the secular and legal 
 press of the country." The public bodies named are the 
 various bar associations throughout the United States. 
 The National Committee of Forty-nine (one for each 
 State and Territory) has the matter in charge, and plans 
 are being perfected to carry on the work in the several 
 localities. The object of this paper is merely suggestive 
 in this direction and in compliance with the request of 
 the Executive Committee of the Illinois State Bar Asso- 
 ciation, the following tentative suggestions for the pro- 
 posed celebration are respectfully submitted to the public: 
 
 PUBLIC ASSEMBLY, WITH ORATION DURING THE 
 DAY, AND BANQUET IN THE EVENING. 
 
 This programme Vvdll be generally followed as the most 
 appropriate one for the proposed celebration. There 
 may be incidental exercises, with a musical programme, 
 and these exercises may take place in a public hall or 
 in the court houses, according to the necessities of the 
 particular locality. Some of the Supreme Courts have 
 arranged for a meeting of the bench and bar at the State 
 capitals, some in conjunction with State, city, and county 
 bar associations. Where the courts are not in session 
 an observance by the joint action of bench and bar, su- 
 preme or local, may be had as a volunteer ofifer to the 
 importance of the day. 
 
 The great orations which were delivered in the year 
 of the Chief Justice's death, in 1835, that of Judge Story 
 before the Boston bar, and that of Horace Binney,*the

 great Philadelphia lawyer of national fame, at Philadelphia, 
 present authentic information to the orators chosen for 
 the day. Since then the orations of Joseph Hopkins, 
 delivered March 3rd, 1837, before the American Philo- 
 sophical Society, reported in i Brockenbrough ; that of 
 Henry Hitchcock, of Missouri (1888) (see Appendix) ; of 
 Edward J. Phelps (1S79) before the American Bar Asso- 
 ciation ; of Chief Justice Waite and William W. Rawle 
 (1884) at the unveiling of the Marshall monument at 
 Washington (112 U. S. 744-61); of General John C. 
 Black before the Illinois State Bar Association (1897) ; 
 of Hon. John B. Cassoday, Chief Justice of the Supreme 
 Court of Wisconsm, entitled, "Jo^^^i Marshall and John 
 Scott" (see Appendix), and the oration of Hon. Isaac N. 
 Phillips, of Bloomington, 111. (32 Chi. Legal News, 352; 
 20 Nat. Corp. Rep. 640), have been delivered to grateful 
 and appreciative audiences. These orations will be wel- 
 come to many orators and may be profitably read to audi- 
 ences in places where no orator can be procured. * 
 
 COMPLETE BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE ON 
 JOHN MARSHALL. 
 
 In addition to the information above mentioned, the 
 writer of this paper has caused a bibliography on the sub- 
 ject of John Marshall to be compiled, v/ith the kind assist- 
 ance of librarians of the Chicago Public Library and the 
 Library of Congress at Washington, which will give ready 
 information to all persons, orators and students in regard 
 to the life work of the Great Chief Justice. This bibliog- 
 raphy is printed in the appendix. 
 
 *Just as this pamphlet s^'oes to press, Messrs. T. H. Flood & Co., Publishers, 
 Chicago, inform the writer that in honor of "John Marshall Day," they are about 
 to republish, in pamphlet form, the proceedings at the unveiling of the Mai shall 
 monument at Washington, including the orations of Chief Justice Waite and W 
 W. Rawle (1884. )
 
 How to Celebrate "-John Marshall Day.'"' 
 
 CELEBRATION AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. 
 
 High importance is naturally to be attached to the 
 proposed celebration at the city of Washington, where 
 it is hoped that the Supreme Court will have a joint ses- 
 sion with Congress (Senate and House), the occasion to 
 be graced by the President of the United States and his 
 cabinet. Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, of Philadelphia, an 
 orator of national fame, has already been entrusted with 
 the task of presenting the great theme of John Marshall. 
 The local bar association of the District of Columbia has 
 this matter in charge. 
 
 But this celebration at the capital is not meant to lessen 
 the best efforts of the various State bar associations to 
 have centennial exercises in their various State localities. 
 It is intended to be the lawyers' day in every part of the 
 Union, in order to realize the full extent of the original 
 proposition. 
 
 COMMEMORATION EXERCISES BY COLLEGES, 
 UNIVERSITIES, LAW SCHOOLS, ETC. 
 
 One of the original suggestions, which has already been 
 adopted by Yale College, was to interest educational in- 
 stitutions in the proposed celebration, and sufficient en- 
 couragement has already been evinced by various college 
 presidents, in communications to the writer, to warrant 
 the statement that general interest will be shown in this 
 matter. It is more than fitting that these educational in- 
 stitutions dwell with emphasis on the exalted character 
 of John Marshall as America's great expounder of the 
 Constitution.
 
 8 How to Celebrate '■'John Marshall Day." 
 
 MEMORIAL EXERCISES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS 
 AND ACADEMIES. 
 
 This suggestion has been heartily endorsed and encour- 
 aged by various school authorities in Wisconsin, Missouri 
 and Alichigan who have taken the matter into considera- 
 tion. This matter can be furthered by application to the 
 State School Superintendents and county and city super- 
 intendents to aid the bench and bar in this matter. The 
 schools should be addressed by members of the bar desig- 
 nated for that purpose by the local committees and the 
 many points in the military career of Marshall, fully stated 
 in the address of Horace Binney of Philadelphia, repub- 
 lished through the courtesy of Callaghan & Co. of Chicago, 
 will be of especial interest to the young students. 
 
 CLOSING OF THE COURTS AS A TESTIMONIAL 
 TO THE DAY. 
 
 One of the means suggested to give emphasis to the 
 celebration is the closing of the courts to secular business 
 and this necessarily includes the closing of all law offices, 
 which fact will free the American lawyer from profes- 
 sional care for one day, which itself will be deemed a valu- 
 able acquisition. If the day is spent in the contemplation 
 of the great period of State-builders and in the work of 
 Marshall's contemporaries, the educational influence of 
 the celebration will be immeasurable in its efifect on the 
 present generation of men in whose hands as a profession 
 all the essential interests of government have been con- 
 fided by the American people. 
 
 It is suggested that on Saturday (or some other day) 
 preceding Monday, February 4th, 1901, some designated

 member of the bar will appear in each American court 
 house and move the court in writing that Monday, Feb- 
 ruary 4th, 1901, be observed by the American bench and 
 bar as "John Marshall Day," and this motion may be ac- 
 companied with appropriate remarks, to be responded to 
 by the court, the whole being spread of record as a lasting 
 memorial of the centennial day. The designation of mem- 
 bers of the bar for this purpose should be made by the va- 
 rious local committees having the celebration in charge. 
 
 ORATORS ON "JOHN MARSHALL DAY." 
 CENTENNIAL VOLUME. 
 
 It is the special desire of the National Committee that 
 orators should be chosen from different localities, in order 
 to give the celebration a national character. It is also 
 suggested that invitations be forwarded at once, in order 
 that the orators may have ample time to prepare for the 
 centennial work. It is most likely that a centennial volume 
 will be authorized by the American Bar Association, in 
 which the great celebration will be detailed and at least 
 some of the orations will be republished in that form. 
 
 CONCLUSION. 
 
 In asking for the recognition of "John Marshall Day," 
 we appeal to the patriotism and the intelligence of the great 
 profession, which, since the era of civilization, has been 
 charged with the duty of guarding the liberties and the 
 rights of property of the people, and which, among its en- 
 nobling ideals, treasures the memory of the Great Chief 
 Justice, who so successfully labored in his high office to 
 preserve the rights of the nation, as well as of the States 
 in blended harmony, and who taught us to appreciate

 what was aptly expressed by one of his successors as "an 
 indestructible Union of indestructible States." 
 
 "Marshall's fame,'" said Judge Story, "will flow on to 
 the most distant ages. Even if the Constitution of this 
 country should perish, his glorious judgments will still 
 remain to instruct mankind until liberty shall cease to be 
 a blessing and the science of jurisprudence shall vanish 
 from the catalogue of human pursuits."

 ADDRESS OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN 
 
 BAR ASSOCIATION ON "JOHN HARSHALL DAY." 
 
 To the Bench and Bar of the United States. New Orleans, February 4, 1900. 
 
 By direction of the American Bar As- 
 Bociation, a committee composed of one 
 member from each state and territory, 
 and from the District of Columbia, has 
 been appointed by the association in ref- 
 erence to the proposed celebration of 
 "John Marshall Day," to take place on 
 Monday, Feb. 4, 1901, being the first cen- 
 tennial of the installation of that emi- 
 nent jurist as Chief Justice of the United 
 States. _ A commemoration of this event, 
 and of the splendid career of Marshall 
 in the great office which he adorned for 
 more than thirty-four years, cannot fail 
 to be an occasion of profound interest 
 and importance to the American bench 
 and bar. Soldier, student, advocate, di- 
 plomatist, statesman, and jurist — he was 
 one of the finest types of American man- 
 hood in its best estate. His fame Is the 
 heritage of the nation, and it is befitting 
 that thg whole country should celebrate 
 the appointed day. 
 
 In the language of Judge Story, when 
 voicing the sentiments of the great court 
 on the official announcement of Mar- 
 shall's death, "his genius, his learning, 
 and his virtues have conferred an im- 
 perishable glory on his country, whose 
 liberties he fought to secure, and whose 
 institutions he labored to perpetuate. 
 
 He was a patriot and a statesman of 
 spotless integrity and consummate wis- 
 dom. The science of jurisprudence will 
 forever acknowledge him as one of its 
 greatest benefactors. The Constitution 
 of the United States owes as much to him 
 as to any single mind, for the founda- 
 tions on which it rests, and the exposi- 
 tions by which it is to be maintained; 
 but, above all, he was the ornament of 
 human nature itself, in the beautiful Il- 
 lustration which his life constantly pre- 
 sented of its most attractive graces and 
 most elevated attributes." 
 
 The committee has been charged with 
 the duty of publishing this address to 
 the legal profession of the United States; 
 also, with the further duty of preparing 
 suggestions for the observance of the 
 day on the part of the State, city, and 
 county bar associations and other public 
 bodies in the United States. 
 
 The committee was also charged with 
 the duty of requesting the good offices of 
 the President of the United States, in 
 recommending to Congress the propriety 
 of observing "John Marshall Day" on the 
 part of Congress and other departments 
 of the government of the United States, 
 and of memorializing Congress to ob- 
 serve befitting ceremonies in honor of the 
 great Chief Justice, 
 
 It is proposed that commemoration 
 services be held at the national capital, 
 under the direction of the Supreme Court 
 of the United States, with the aid and 
 support of the co-ordinate branches of 
 the government. 
 
 It is also expected that the day will 
 be properly observed on the part of all 
 State and national courts, by the cessa- 
 tion of judicial business, and that all 
 State, city, and county bar associations 
 participate in proper exercises in such 
 manner as to them shall seem most ap- 
 propriate. 
 
 Similar ceremonies are recommended 
 to be held in all American colleges, law 
 schools, and public schools, to the end 
 that the youth of our country may be 
 made more fully acquainted with Mar- 
 shall's noble life and distinguished ser- 
 vices. 
 
 The American Bar Association leaves 
 the execution of this national celebra- 
 tion in the hands of the courts and the 
 public bodies named, and the committee 
 expresses the sincere hope that the cele- 
 bration be national in its character and 
 imposing in its extent and fervor, and 
 that it may have the hearty support of 
 the secular and legal press of our coun- 
 try. 
 
 The active co-operation of the respec- 
 tive Vice Presidents and members of lo- 
 cal councils appointed by the associa- 
 tion, with the respective members of the 
 national committee, is respectfully re- 
 quested and expected. 
 
 On behalf and by authority of the Na- 
 tional Committee. 
 
 WILLIAM WIRT HOWE, 
 ADOLPH MOSES, Chairman. 
 
 Secretary.
