In this connection, l wish to give voice
to one word OF praise for the Supreme
Court of the United States, that august and
dignihed body, composed of the most
learned jurists in the land, which is the
Court of last Appeal in this country. Its
members are appointed by the President,
with the concurrence of the Senate, usually
on their merit alone and not chiefly as re-
suit of political pull, and so it has come to
be recognized as one of the greatest courts
in the world. will not say the greatest
court in the world because think that we
English-speaking people must all admit
that the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council, the highest court in the British
Dominions, by reason of its venerable age,
and the great heritage of presidents that it
has handed down to the glish-speaking
world, including the United States of Amer
lea, must still retain the premier place.
With all due Difference to the decisions of
the state courts and the Federal Circuit
Courts, it is very seldom that they are fol-
lowed by English courts, but on the other
hand, the judgments of the Supreme Court
of the United States are not only cited in
English Courts but are actually followed as
precedents, by all English Courts, where
precedent cannot be found in their own
courts and think that this is perhaps the
greatest signal honor that we Britishers can
pay to the dignity of that court and the
soundness of its interpretations of the law.
In conclusion beg to apologize for en-
deavoring to treat such vast and deep SUBJ
ject in so cursory manner but if have
succeeded in making it clear that man, be-
ing essentially a social animal and hence
compelled to live in constant contact with
his fellow citizens, could only safe-g guard
his true freedom by giving up certain def
mite part of it to the State: that within the
territorial confines of each sovereign state,
for this reason, there must exist a supreme
law-making body capable of promulgating
laws for the protection and enjoyment of
that true freedom: that when we became
citizens of that state we voluntarily acqui-
esced in the righteous existence of that
body and undertook to obey its mandates
that public opinion, particularly in modern
democratic countries, will nearly always en-
sure the adoption of pure and wholesome
laws by that body, and that the sovereign
law-making body is armed with the actual,
physical force to ensure its laws being OBJ
served by refractory citizens; if, say,
have made these points clear in this brief
paper, l shall feel that perhaps it has not
been written in vain and that the way has
been, at least partially, prepared for more
detailed study of these individual local
laws, enacted by the sovereign law-making
body in our own native state, to which we
are subject and with which each one of US
ought to be familiar.

JURISPRUDENCE
Continued from page three)

Constitution of the United States, which
provided for the election of President to
act as chief executive officer and to take the
place of the king, and Congress, consist
ing of House of Representatives and a
Senate, which bodies in the future were to
ing their affairs. The United States has,
therefore, written constitution" which
is called by jurists an ''infexible constitu-
tion," because its terms cannot be altered
to meet extraordinary conditions, with the
same facility as can the 'unwritten consti-
tution' of England, which is called a
FLEXIBLE constitution.
1t must also be remembered that each in
dividual state in the union has its own par
ticular constitutions; also that each state,
within the limits of its own geographical
boundaries, is as omnipotent and independ-
ent as is the United States, within its own
peculiar sphere of action. The English
Common Law, including both the civil
and criminal law, is made the basis Of the
have teen made in it from time to time, by
the law-making bodies in each state, to
suit their own particular local conditions.
The chief point to remember, however,
is that each state is sovereign and indie
pendent unit, so far as the rights and du-
ties of its own citizens are concerned and it
is not accountable to the Federal govern
ment at Washington for any of its actions.
The Federal Government takes cogniz-
ance of all matters where two or more
states are involved between themselves:
where one citizen of one state has dispute
with another state or citizen of that state;
and it also has exclusive Jurisdiction over
matters which are admittedly of common
interest to all the states, such as immigra-
ton, currency, the imposition of customs
duties, the regulation of interstate COM
merce, the Indian affairs, etc. The broad
principle which separates the respective ju-
risdictions of the Federal Government and
the State Government is that the Federal
Government has exclusive power over all
matters which are of common concern to
the states as whole, while the states have
exclusive jurisdiction over such matters as
are of purely local concern.
As a result of this dual Jurisdiction in
the United States, there are both Federal
and State courts throughout the entire
country and it is often nice question of
law to determine which set of courts has
jurisdiction over any given matter and it fire.
quently happens that matters which would
appear at first blush to be purely local in
terest are carried into the Federal Courts
for determination, sometimes apparently
for reasons best known to the lawyers. them
selves.

Night

Fair Night; companion to that troubled mind,
Where days vicssitudes have left unkind
spoken word, in haste perchance, or look,
That though unreassuring self in sign mistook.
Fair night; sweet night, and troubles all forgot,
Sweet peace and thee impend now Ger my cot,
EMBODIED in thy kindly shroud of grey,
dream safe-anchored in the cosmic bay.
What pleasant musings, would the mind now own;
Fair the breeze that o er the sea is blown
When storms have ceased their tumut strife
And Gains bring back that beauty into life.
Into the realms of that elysum Shore
Adventure finds the unknown explore,
Where treasure rare, in valued price untold,
Give of that wealth though must need to mould.
Here in these hours, with goddess Night reign,
Forgetful of where time has left stain.
And ere my musings shall have been half spent
The magic from her breath, sweet sleep has lent
And musing spent, shall in that sleep dream on
To see the sunsets there, to find new dawn,
And all that sends to life friendly beam.
In thee, Night, 1 live and have my dream.

hitch makes 1t cut deeper and move
more material. The correct length Of
hitch to use depends upon the height
of the team, arrangement of harness,
etc., and must be determined by trial.
The amount Of skew or angle which
the drag makes with the center line
of the road also affects the results.
The greater the skew Il. e., the small

be about 45 degrees, but here again
the judgment and experience of the
operator must be brought into play.
The driver can control the opera

can step toward the front, thus max

increase the skew and so move more
earth toward the center line, while
stepping to the other end of the drag
has the opposite effect. In road drag

HOW TO PREVENT ROAD DUST
Breaking Up Of Ridges Formed When
Roadbed Is Wet From Standing
Water Causes Trouble.

Dust in the road is largely caused
by the breaking up of the ridges
formed when the rond bed is wet from
standing water. II the roadbed Is
kept we'll crowned and smooth water
will run off. The surface will soften
up some in case Of long rain, but 1t
will not be nearly so bad as when
there are ruts VIII n hold the water.
The wheels Of e, passing vehicle
make the rut q little deeper. The
best way to keep the roadbed smooth
is to run over 1t with the road drag.
This should be done soon after 1t
rains. The soil is then soft so 1t can
be easily scraped off and dropped into
any depressions. The harrow also
lays the soil down in layers. 1t sort
of plasters it down, which makes
harder surface than when the soil is
dumped onto the roadbed. The road
drag is the most effective dust proven
ter except oiling the roads.
