Go it, Wiley!
You’ve doubled on your tracks, but you’ll
get caught, all the same I
WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN.
Ober In Alabama.
A notorious Federal Judge, a man of the
name of Jones, undertakes to put the state of
Alabama out of business. With a spurt of the
pen, this man Jones has abolished the Govern
or, the Legislature, and the people of a great
state.
Yet we fancy that we live in a democratic
republic.
By the Eleventh Amendment to the Consti
tution, a private citizen is forbidden to bring
a state down to the level of a common litigant.
But to such a man as this Jones of Alabama,
the Constitution is nothing. He is so inebriated
with silly ideas of his own power and import
ance that he allows the insolent Milton Smith,
of the L. & N. Railroad, to drag the state of
Alabama into the courts, defying her laws,
and paralyzing her constituted authorities with
Injunctions!
What an insufferable situation!
Governor Comer cannot and will not back
down. He must enforce the law. His oath of
office binds him to do just that. His own
sense of right will nerve him to do it. If this
insolent Milton Smith and this usurping
Federal Judge makes it necessary for
you to do it, Governor, call out the military
of the state to enforce the laws of the state.
THEN the corporations will discover that
the man in the White House is another An
drew Jackson who will remember Old Hicko
ry’s grim remark,
“John Marshall has made his Decision; Now
let us see him enforce it.”
HOLD YOUR GROUND, GOVERNOR
COMER.
