get near the water. The fact that
there were no additional rooms in

home without even having had a dip.
Some twenty-five girls from Daven-
port, members of the Land-a-Hand
club, responded to the invitation to be
present and about a half-dozen girls
came from Rock Island, as many OF

a few who have examined our national
institutions carefully and impartially
have declared that the United States
Supreme Court is an institution with.
out parallel in any country and domi-
mates the whole government. That was
not the purpose of those who instituted
our republican government, but it has
been the result of development in
which Judges have carefully built up
their power and now jealously defend
that power against all who would dis.
rute it.
Courts have no divine right of exist.
encc nor any divine right to exercise
specific injunction. Whatever power
courts may have is power that has been
delegated TO them by the people. The
way the people express their desire as
to what shall be standards and rules of
government is thru constitution and leg
islatiou enacted by their Representatives
and occasionally declared by themselves.

back in England in the time of the

that they evidently think workers be-

whom the right of free speech and free
