While we deplors the nece ssity OF such law.
it would be vain to argue that such necessi

in serious loss to good many uen but At
the same time 1t would unshsckle thousands

look upon such law as an actual necessity.
1t has been found to be SO in countries mucl,

over, and have their minds made up either to
refuse or acquiesce IN putting their names to
the petition above alluded to.
