Here is the point If we have the courage of our convictions on this matter we are going to help the people out and change that jury from that state legislature and put this Il he hands of the people under proper safeguards. And I am just as con- servative as you are. l will o just IS far as you will.

 But our whole system of government was an experiment, linear was nothing like it; every provision almost in the federal constitution wa III experiment. and it has worked pretty well. Some things didn't work so we'll because they say we were laying hands on the judges, The Daddies themselves laid their hands on the Electoral College and said, you are no good. All you can do is grant the peoples will, that is all.
 My friend said something about the judiciary in Canada. Now know what the extent Q f their jurisdiction is. If province passes an act that trespasses upon the rights of the federal govern ment, then the federal government says to the province, you haven any right to interfere with our business. They haven't any federal courts there in the various provinces. We have that double headed system and that is one of the biggest farces We ever had. We will straighten these things out by and by. You have right here in Illinois, tlree timee a many judges as they have Il Canada i proportion Q your population, we have Sn Ohio, too. We want to do for the courts what W do for the corporations, purge them of q whole lot of their wrongs, their iniquities and their injus- tices. l thank you. (Applause.)
