LEGAL NOTES
Edward Dunford. Assistant

The anniversary of the birth of Abra-
ham Lincoln causes our thoughts to turn
to our country and the splendid contri-
button which he made to preserve our
Constitution to posterity unimpaired.
Many of the public utterances of Abra-
ham Lincoln during the struggle for the
preservation of the Union are peculiarly
appropriate at this time when warfare
is being waged between those who insist
uponFthe observance and enforcement of
the Constitution and those who insist that
certain of its provisions may be disre-
garded with impunity.

Many of the opponents of the Eight
zenith Amendment declare that they are
under no obligation to respect the prohi-
billions of that amendment Included
among this number are some persons of
prominence. Advocates of notification
of the Constitution seek to destroy Amer
lean institutions. Every citizen who be-
lieves in the principle of constitutional
government should throw the weight of
his influence against these schemes which
seek to undermine our fundamental law.
1t is the duty of every citizen, first, to
obey the law, and as the Supreme Court
