The senator contended, moreover,' that the purpose and spirit of the constitution was "to prevent the concentration of power and to put limitations on numerical majori ties." lie concluded with the de claration that "the greatest- safe guard of human rlghtB, in pie loitg run, is to be found in independent courts, which can be swayed neith-j er by the whisper of the bribe-giver, by the clamor of the mob, by the command of the autocrats, or by the dark threats of secret organization."!
