 Everybody knows that in these days. eating and drinking is but a small part of a real banquet. and this one was, realism itself The other part was a. feast of ideas served with the garnishment Of good humor and fraternal quips and Snow and then a joke that seemed almost like 1t was founded on fact The toastmaster was Judge F. S. Nave of Globe. who presided with his usual dignity, loos- ened bit at the edges at proper times. when extreme naturalness seemed more in order than formal re- straint.
 Toasts were drunk to tho presiden. of the banquet, and though most of the oratory was for serious and thoughtful consideration, as the hours es IL morous.

The law. he said, had been assailed as unconstitutional
 He offered no opinion on that sub- ject, but said he had great confidence in the legal ability of the president and attorney general and other legal gentlemen who have had much to do with it's creation.

Judge Lewis opened the question by recit- ing some of his conclusions. after a quite careful study of it. and a wide discussion of others. Following him. Captain Christy was assigned to de- fend the theory that judges should
