WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Justice Har-
Ian, of tho United States Supreme
Court. in dissenting from the decision
IN the civil rights GASES, says: "The
opinion in these cases proceeds upon
grounds entirely too narrow and artifi.
sial Ia substance aud spirit. The re-
sent constitutional amendments have
been sacrificed by q subtle and ingenious
verbal criticism. This constitutional
provision was adopted in the interest of

freedom, and Belonging TO American
The people desired TO Co.

The Court has departed from the fanfil-
ar rule requiring that in Interpretation
II the constitutional provisions that the
'ull extent be given to ths intent with
which they wore adopted. The power
conferred by the third amendment does
aot rest ON implication or inference,
Ind tho power 20 enforce il by sppro-
pirate Legislation was expressly
granted Congress. Therefore they may
