the latter that the constitution of the
United States had been designed by
the noted jurist Peletiah Webster,
who gave the world the half breaking
idea of federal government operat-

to establish the fact that Benjamin
Franklin was the originator of the ia

ator to publicly admit that Franklin
never conceived in any form the sys-
tenn Of federal government which Web
