There can be no certain prospect Of
peace in America until General Huerta

We are more than its friends; we are
its champions. because in no other

Our thoughts may ordinarily be con-

part of the work of conservation, and
the conservation of human life and en-

We owe it in mere justice to the rail-

we can stand by in this matter will be
no less to the advantage Of those who

whom they employ. The experience
Of large number of the states abun-

We ought to devote ourselves to
meeting pressing demands of plain
justice like this as earnestly as to the

first. Law is the machinery for its
realization and is vital only as It ex-
presses and embodies it.
