of Capitalization.

stroy one of the vital principles OIL
democracy. IL would take from the |
states the power 10 protect their cit.
irens against oppression. For i'm

Roosevelt has a beautiful theory, but |

treated TO the spectacle u southern
federal Judge In Alabama sustaining
a federal court rs against the state
tcourts, and OF northern federal
Judge In Minnesota sustaining a
state court us against federal court.
This shows that the question 81
Estates tights has ceased 10 i've either
a political or sectional issue. This
J fact will clear the atmosphere Tor the
state officials very materially Fort
