Transferring the Colonies

In connection with the proposition that the United
States should cancel all part of the debts
owed to this nation by Great Britain and France a
suggestion has been made that those nations might
transfer to the United States their sovereignty over
their West Indian colonies equivalent for the
money borrowed by them in this country.
Such suggestion is not likely to meet with any
large degree of favor either side of the Atlantic.
Neither England or France would be willing to admit
that their finances in such desperate condition that
they willing to dispose of French citizens Brit
sh subjects for money consideration and the other
hand the people of the United States would not approve
the plan of buying islands and population to ado to
this nation.
1t is evident that there would be some advantages,
from the standpoint of national defense if the flag
the United States raised the British and French
West Indies But those military and naval advantages
not of enough importance to offset the very serious
obstacles to the plan. 1t is probable that the people
of the islands would not be favorable to the PROPOSE
ton, and the people of Canada would be strongly o
posed to it.
The general sentiment among Americans is that
the national domain is already large enough and that
is not wise safe to add any distant islands,
particularly those that inhabited by people who
arc easily assimabe.

The address of Former United States Senator, Al

Monday night the life of John Marshall indeed
masterpiece and classic Be it said to the credit
of the attorneys of Colorado that they realized that

sttutiona history of the United States and instead of
its being representative gathering of the Denver Bar
Association, it rather meeting of the Colorado
Bar Association.
Nearly every town in the state represented,
Pueblo being especially with large nullber of her
attorneys present
Mr. Beveridge spoke for approximately three hours,
giving in detail the life work of Mr. Marshall which
without doubt resulted in such Interpretation Of the
constitution that it strong enough to the
foundation upon which American government hns been
blilt.
According to Mr.. Beveridge, Mr. Marshall gave four
opinions when he chief justice of the United States
Supreme Court the language argument and deductions
of which made him immortal.
First: That the Judiciary has the right to nullify
the work of the legislative branch, providing the u
dietary knows that the law enacted is unconstitutional.
Ours is the only country the globe where the udci
ary has this power the work of the legislature
Second That a contract between n state and an
individual corporation, a contract between any
branch of the National State government and
oration individual set of individuals is just
valid contract between individuals.
Third That the United States supreme court has
the right to declare any act of any state legislature
or any subordinate legislative body in state uncon-
sttutiona if it is in violation of the Federal const-
ton.
Fourth Mr.. Marshall interpreted the constitution
of the United States in the Aaron Burr prevent
conviction for constructive treason. Ours is the only
country where treason is limited overt act, the
details of which must be testified to under oath by two
witnesses.
Mr.. Bcveridge believes that on those four funda-
mertal principles rests the greatness of the American
institutions of government He depicted the labor of
Mr. Marshall in getting these four principles established
as the foundation stones of American freedom. He
