following warning 10 the southern
members CT the Bar Association:

may respect the personal integrity and pro
fessional ability of John Marshall, we should
not educate the public, and especially the youth
of the land, into the belief that Macshallism is
political or historic truth
Among other significant paragraphs
in Mr.. Aiken's article the following
should be particularly noted:
II Marshallism is right, then Lee should have
been hung, Jefferson Davis legally deserved the
scaffold, aud every Confederate soldier from
Manassas 10 Appomattox was in law rebel de-
serving death.
