I  could  not  understand  the  President's  reference  this  morning,
when  speaking  with  Mr.  Becker,  as  to  his  not  wishing  to  be  pressed
further  on  some  particular  question.  Is  it  not  true  that  members
of  that  court,  or  at  least  those  who  were  originally  elected,  are  still
sitting  and  adorn  the  bench?  Certainly  he  could  not  have  intended
a  criticism  upon  that  court  after  the  magnificent  tribute  he  gave  it.
And  now  to  you,  gentlemen  of  the  majority,  let  me  say  that  this
report  has  been  as  honest  a  piece  of  work  as  was  ever  presented  to  a
body.  There  has  been  no  effort  except  to  get  a  good  judiciary
article.  It  rests  largely  with  you  whether  you  will  break  it  down
in  any  integral  part,  or  whether  you  will  send  it  out  to  the  people  of
the  State  as  one  of  the  good  pieces  of  work  which  you  intend  to
give  them.
