Dr. Wilcox proved TO his audience
that as tme and conditions change,
Jaws should change. A business that
was perfectly legitimate fifty years
ago or one hundred years ago is no
longer legitimate; yet when these
practices were nterfered " lth, cries

disrcgarded in this country as in no

Later ON DR.. Wilcox declared that
There is a class OF lawyers in this
country whose determination it is
to defeat the ends of Justice ON some
technicallty Of the law, If the big
purse is opened to them"
"If the law is bad, repeal IL; If
defective, amend it; but above all
enforce your laws after you make
them"
Dr. Wilcox then in general way
aualyzed the three great departments
OF the government-the legislative.
The judicial and the executive-anJ
pointedly demonstrated that it is the
duty of the executive officers to EN-
FORCE the laws not to make the
laws Or rot to pass Judgment on
them: and IL they failed to enforce
them they should be put out Of Of
Zee
He then illustrated the connection
that exists through the entire execu-
tive system from the president of
the nation to the humblest town mar
shal. The laws arc usually all right,
but the violations are simply brought
about by the neglect Of executive of
hcers 10 do their duty
a startling statement by Dr. VIII
cox was that embodyIng the predic
tion Of great statesmen or Europe,
made long years ago, to the efect
that the American republic would
sooner or later meet disaster for The
reason that universal suffrage would
prove a failure. The statements OF
these great men were quoted. DR..
wilcox declared that these predic
tIons were OF late years growing
more serious and grave in their as

universal suffrage is proving a fail

Dr. Wilcox declared that an eXecu'

law usually gives one of three rea'

Horror and rebellion struggled with the
sanctities of the occasion on the bride

promised in turn.
After the ceremony was over the bride
