Smith argues that the Congress is

such a law will be futile and uncon.

agree with him. But the beneficial
results to be secured by ccntering
public attention upon this system OF

Moreover, if il is unconstitutional
and of no effect in law we can see no

many unconstitutional laws now lie

the country. noticeably those affect
