mcills and dec ared that the people
should no longer be content with the
interpretation of tlie constitution by
the .supremo court but should call
a constitutional convention for tlie
revision of the original documents
to meet the conditions of 'today.
Justice Cl.trk's attitude was the
extreme one "of state: rights. : , "It
will be seen at a glance," said lie.
"that the federal constitution '.was
devised not lo express but. to sup
press the will of the people." lie
said again "In this country we re
tain the form of a republic hut Un
real power' of tho government is
vested in tin' great interests 'which
elect tlie representatives and dictate
the appointment of the judiciary.
"The president, of the United

that in truth it has been uinended
from time to time by the ' majority

guise of 'construing' that instrtl-;
ment, he has astonished the public!
by frankly calling on the court to
'construe' it nagin to give him tho!
power he wants. j
Justice Walter Clark dropped a
live hint in tho direction of "One '
High in Authority."
"Washington imposed a limita
tion to his tenure of office as presi

not bo binding according to tho
likes and Inclinations of others fol
