Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit January 21, 1908, No. 1844 (District of Columbia v. Robinson)

Mr. Justice Van Orsdel

delivered the opinion of the Court:

We think a consideration of the one ground of demurrer above cited will fully dispose of the questions involved in this case.

That a State has full authority, in the exercise of its police power, to legislate for the health, the morals, and the general welfare of its people, cannot be disputed.
