asked, pleasantly, more to make con

discredit would today have been be-
ciouding the United States courts as
now exists. This dark reflection up
ais has been caused by the assump-
ton on the part of these federal
agencies to intrude on all state gov
eminent and to the end that they
might accommodate financial conten-
tons they inconsiderately, with every
opportunity afforded, declare state
legislation and municipal regulation
invalid whenever the same assumed
to control the rates of public service
corporations.
COURTS IN THE WAY.
Then, in the stead of these local
regulations prescribed by the people
for their own protection and the just
government of these public franchise
enjoying institutions, the federal
courts would substitute the discre-
tionary rates of the bondholders and
watered stock dividend gatherers. 1t
was such instances, multiplied
throughout the different states OF the
union, which caused the citizen to re-
! gard the federal courts the enemy of
the people and the proper guardian OF
! the privileges of those who oppressed
citizenship. While these instances to
which / alIude were the prominent in
/ stances which attracted the resent
ment of the people, and therefore the
exception, yet it was such that pre-
vented the due credit being given to
the conduct of Iaw-abiding and consti-
tutional federal courts in this coun-
/ try.
1--WE need more of home rulc-state
/ regulation of state institutions, and
business organizations conducted
within the state which profit from
/ the citizens.and less of government
at distans and by presidential dis
erection, congressional intrusion and
4 federal court invasion This will do
much to bring democracy back to re-
publican government and re-establish
the federal courts in the confidence
Of the citizen and the respect of the
nation"

hear the voices of the men, while
Spanish soldiers passed around all

he spent hidden in a bush sketching
the harDor and position of the ships.
The same good fortune which had
attended his entrance into the place
favored his escape, and although he
many times came close to capture, he
finally regained the coast and his own
