JOHN MARSHALL.

Tomorrow in the National capital. and
in nearly every State in me Union, ap-
propriate tributes will be paid to the
memory OF John Marshall upon the cen
tennial celebration OF his induction into
The office OF chlef Justice Of the United
States.
1T is peculiarly proper just at this
time that the life work and views of a
man who put the constitution above
everything else In the way OF a political
power o. warrant OF authority in this
country, shuuld be reviewed and his
teachings be made TO sink deep into the
popular mind once more. The supreme
court. which Marshall raised TO power
and clothed with dignity. has now before

premacy Of the construction, and in this
celebration II is possible that the present
learned judges may have their attention
directed anew 10 the guiding principle
which enabled the first great chief JUS
uice to place this government upon high
and solid ground and dhcck any tendency
toward either imperialism or anarchy.
When John Marshall was appointed
TO preside over the supreme court in 1901
