Governor joimsuii bijubb m imii. ua Our government is uivmcu uuo seuarute and co-ordlnato brioches the legislatiye, the execn- tir. and trie judicial. uauger win mil? come t" tills republic when tDt of these departments 01 govern ment attempt In the slightest degree 10 usurp the functions of the other. And while now and then it may be ..... U , luai a court or tne ud. In constru ing me ronsututumr niv nullify a ! section i)t, I have the faith to feel ! that the people of the countrv will ; rise above the fallibility of judicial j tribunals and assert and preserve i their own rights. Our duty is not to criticise the legislature, the executive , or the judirtary. Our duty is to rec ognize the majesty of thelaw when ; enacted by the legislature, to abide i by and with the honest executive ad , ministration of the lawn when a n. i acted, and to respect, even thoiiuh wrong, the opinion of the courts of the land, because when respect for thae institutions is gone, then the very framework of our government is bound to crumble and decay. Hut having thus iriven nnr !iemii..we.e, to the voice of authority, if in the opinion of the pontile the action ta ken is one which should not be exer cised by that particular department, it is our Inalienable right to so fur- I , y k i jonx A.

Wry re cently there has mine from the high est judicial tribunal In the land a de cision of vital interest and concern to the American p.-ople, because tt , has established a principle, abated by one member of the court, hich woiifcl work a radical change In our goVnmental system and uld in augurate the subordinate federal courts to supervise and control the official action of the states as though they were dependencies or provinces. It would place the states of the l'n ton in a condition of inferiority never dreamed of when the constitution was adopted or when the eki0ith amendment was made a part of the supreme law of the land. If this is the result of this decision it Is. to my mind, one of the unhappy Inci dents in the history of our republic, because the very theory of our gov ernment is based upon the right of the states to control absolutely their own domestic affairs. "For narly a century and a half America has presented to the world the spectacle of a happy and prosper ous, intelligent people, maintaining a pure democracy founded upon their supreme will. The hall mark of dem ocracy is that the powers of govern ment - are close to the people. Throughout the world, wherever democracy is advancing, its progress is marked by a greater measure of self-government t orach community. Will the American people turn to the setting" rather than the rising sun? Shall we uow, because some laws are called irksome by a class and inter fere with their selfish aims, com mence to deprive our sovereign states 0 MUSIC FROM MAGDALENA BAY (Continued on Tago Four.)
