extremely weak in vital particulars. OF course,
these weak points may be remeded at the following cleo
ton members of the revision committee have suggested

AS stated last week. this newspaper intends to print the
facts about the weak points well the good points

and pledgine them their utmost

From all over the country wires
have poured into the Star offices
from editors and publicists, urging
them to continue the fight for a

Already bills are being drafted,
taking from judge the right to try
his own contempt cases, and others
wiping the principle Of construc.

outside the court r0om-from the

That the matter will be fought
