Death Watch Doubled.
Tonight at o'clock, after the death

was placed in the cell with Czolgosz.
That portion of the prison in which four
other condemned men are kept has been
partitioned off from Czolgosz's cell bv

The guards were doubled merely as

Warden Mead has thrown still anoth-

prevent any miscarriage of the plans

directed the watch to insist that any

English and be held within the hearing

the ruling will be in case the prisoner
makes a confession to one of the Polish
priests. In this case the guards will

are universally denunciatory of the
venality of the American voter and with
unanimity they have time and again
avowed that their peerless presidential
candidate in 1896 and in 1900 was
defeated with G. o. d. ballots paid for
by the republican party. And it is ex-
ceedingly queer and paradoxical that the
same shepherds of the flocks of the COM
mon people now howl for an election of
United States senators by direct popu-
lar vote so as to secure uncOrrupted
ballots and incorruptible men.
Even the peerless himself at Salem, in
Illinois, last summer proclaimed that the
election if held then-while he was
speaking in his native town-would re-
suit in the triumph of populism. But
that the republicans were getting
together a mammoth money pile with
which to buy voters and therefore-as
his followers were salable and selling
set-he could not feel quite certain of
even his own election. Thus it is held
that voters for presidential electors are
purchasable and that voters for senator's
would be pure as the snow and incor-
ruptible as the angels. They do not
know enough, according to Bryanarchy,
to elect honest men to the state legis-
lature, but they would be experts in
selecting honest men for the United
States senate.

John MARSHALL.

JOhAN OA<AINShAAA.
Address of Charles S. Lobingier of the
Omaha bar at the State University
Marshall memorial exercises, February
4, 1901.
"To me the most significant fact in
Marshall's career is the illustration it
affords of the power and influence of
the lawyer and judge in American
public life. We often hear it said that
the lawyer, to be a factor in public
affairs, must enter politics, that the
mere lawyer and the mere judge must
be content to live in comparative retire
ment, and to exert little influence on
society; Marshall's career is a contra
diction of all this. He never was a
politician in the popular sense. His life
was devoted to the law and not to
politics; and yet, his appointment to the
bench probably changed the entire
course of American history.
"When Marshall entered upon his
judgeship, the old Federal party to which
he belonged, was about to pass from
power forever. Its leaders had been
defeated at the polls; it's policy and prin-
ciples had been repudiated; and one,
who like Marshall, was identified with
it, seemed welded to a hopeless cause.
But while the politicians and party
leaders of the opposition were exulting
in their apparent victory-while they
were devoting themselves to the petty
strifes of partisan politics, John Marshall
was slowly engrafting the rejected prin-
ciples of Federalism upon the juris-
prudence of our country. Marshall
came to the bench with profound con-
victions concerning the nature and
powers of the Federal government. He
believed that these powers ought to be
strengthened and extended and that the
constitution ought to be construed
literally to that end. And whenever
occasion offered, as in the case of Gibbons
VS.. Ogden, 8 Wheat, he caused these
convictions to become the law of the
land. In that case, you remember, he
refused to take the strict view that the
power of congress to regulate commerce
was confined to mere traffic. He gave
commerce the broader meaning of
communication and thus brought within

humble ferry line across the Hudson
River. And so all through the more
than third of a century, during which
Marshall presided over the court, he was
rewriting the constitution. While
politicians were concerned with the
affairs of day; while statesmen even,
were legislating for few years at most,
this man, who never aspired to be more
than lawyer and judge, was framing
rules which would control the lives and
liberties of his countrymen for genera
tions to come.
Created American Constitutional Law.
"Marshall's decisions have not alto
gether escaped criticism. They were
sometimes denounced by contempora-
ries; even posterity has not been
unanimous in their approval. The editor
of the American Law Review, for ex-
ample, Seymour D. Thompson, is an
incessant critic Of the decision in the
Dartmouth College case. But the fact
constitution at the beginning of the last
century and the constitution today is
largely due to the labors of John
Marshall And this fact demonstrates
as nothing else can, the dignity, import
ance and power of the judicial office.
"Sir Frederick Pollock in his Oxford
Essays, a book which may be read with
interest and profit by all law students,
as we'll as lawyers, has fine passage in
which he pictures a world in which
dwell the great jurists of all time, among
whom he ranks Marshall. In that
world he says, Moses and Manu- sit
enthroned side by side, guiding the
dawning sense of justice and righteous
ness of the two master races of the earth.
Solon, Scalvola and Ulpian walk as
familiar friends with Blackstone and
Kent, with Story and Marshall. While
the crimes of a Bonaparte and the
bigotry of Justinian are alike forgotten
because at their bidding the rough
places in the ways of justice were made
plain.
"Of the long line of judges who have
built up the mighty fabric Of Anglo
American law, perhaps only one can be
compared to Marshall in the extent and
Importance of his contributions. Mans
field, who for twenty eight years pre-
sided over the Kings Bench, created
the commercial law of England.
Marshall created the constitutional law
of America. Of the sixty-one constitu-
tional decisions rendered by the supreme
court, from the time of it's organization
until MARSHALL s death, he himself wrote
thirty-six. The next highest number
written by Story was only eleven.
