Our government is uivmcu uuo

brioches the legislatiye, the execn-
tir. and trie judicial. uauger win
mil? come t" tills republic when
tDt of these departments 01 govern

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-

ther limit its power as to prevent the
recurrence of the error. 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
