diil ihc I'lilhcr ol I. a Country, looking down
the pathway of time, portray the fearful mad

from tho military policy mane ne-nry by the

The thing Ik n. little too triinparent to cnlch

There are, n we remarked above, two sys
tems of policies, one of n civil or polltlcol na

cuu nj'ct them both, adopt lU'in both, or
udopt the one and njet the othir, or rtject
Ihc one mid adopt the other. If you njvet
the one, specifically nnd expressly, and so)
nothing about the other, dun't you adopt It ?
I ;.t us apply this principle to the construction
of the language of the call or platlorm uudir

has the right to suppress " Incendiary docu

facilities nllordid by the Government ? Tlien

to suppress document and papers, whi'-h In
