want to kill the force of Hon. Walter
Ctark's Mexico letters they should pick

writes the truth in a nou partisan way,
and certainly Judge Clark did
not write anything that would
indicate which party he affili-
ates with. Any Supreme Court

tional citiz enehip, and to express his
views on great public questions. In
