THE LEGACY OF JOHN MARSHALL
was Harry D. Michael s subject. One
day Abraham Lincoln called for 10
900 men TO preserve the Legacy o; the
Union. The men of the north poured
tutO Washington to offer their lives
behind this? Years before a mar
lived who imposed as duty on Presi
dent Lincoln the preservation of the
L lion; taat man was John Marshall
Happy for the nation that the con
stitution provided for the esta biish
meuU Of a supreme court; happy that
there was a John Marshall to assume
the position of CHEF justice. Without
it liberty would have lost a sublime
and civilization a most worthy son.
Marshall decisions covered every
field His decisions gradu-
ally took away those rights
of the states which would finally
have disrupted the Union. He
laid stone upon stone aud beam upon
beam until the structure of the gov
eminent was complete and ipde-
structible. Marshall laiddown the
law for unity so well that it gave US
strength and the respect of the ma
tions. As to the future, supremacy
will be cur goal. We shall be as we
have been, the disseminators of
Christianity, civilization and prog
ress. Who can deny that this God
given destiny would have been i'm
possible had not John Marshall laid
down his great law of the unity of
one government, one people, one flag.
This is the legacy of John Marshall.
ANARCHY
claimed the attention of Clinton W.
Williams. A President has been
struck down by anarchy. What are
we to do? We are grived, we are
angered, we are indignant. We
would bring anarchy to justice; but
where is anarchy? Is it behind the
bars at Auburn? The special quail
ity of anarchy which has expressed
its dangerous tendencies is its antag
onism to all forms of government. /
Anarchists are not reformers, for
they claim to find nothing in govern
ment worthy of reforming. There
have been revolutionists always, but
their motives differ wonderfully from
those of anarchy. The execution OF
Czolgosz will not exterminate the 7
others. We have been congratulating /
ourselves that the anarchists have
come here from Europe. That is an /
awful, mistake. In no country can tick
ist with greater safety than here. Our
emigration laws should be so amended
as to exclude anarchists. by a law of
inquiry into the character and /
tenets of any man who comes here,
which inquiry must be made in the
country from which he comea. An
archy aims at the destruction of all
If open war on gov
eminent is treason the secret plotting
of assassination is treason. Any
state can punish anarchy; but the
better way would be to join hands
with all governments of Europe for
the purpose. Let the law take its
course but let the law make the an
archist criminal. Let US secure the
freedom Of our citizens, but let US
protect our public men by the sup
preston Of anarchy.
