JOHNSONJT SH1LOH.
Minnesota Executive Makes Notable
Address.
QUESTION OF STATE RIGHTS.
Does Not Approve of Commonwealths
Being Made Subservient to Inferior
Federal Courts?Would Uphold Constitution.
Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota
delivered at the dedication of the
Minnesota monument on Sliiloh battle
Held an address that will rank as one
of the ablest public deliverances of recent
times. Spoken on a battlefield !
that may be taken as the symbol of the !
great war for the 1'uion. the governor
took occasion to tell of the peril that
threatens our federal form of government.
This peril was emplmsi/ed by
the recent decision of the supreme
court in the railway cases going up
from Minnesota and North Carolina,
which practically makes the state gov
erniuents subservient to the Inferior
federal courts. The significance of
these decisions Is widely understood,
and they have given rise to a general
discussion of the question of the rights
of the states, and Governor Johnson's
speech will rank as an important contribution
to that discussion. The dodl

Representing the people of the commonwealth
of Minnesota, we are assembled
on one of the historic battle
fields of the civil war to pay our tribute
of respect and affection to the
memory of the sons of Minnesota who
here yielded up their lives that this
might continue to he a united nation
Their sacrifice was not for personal
gain, hut was In response to duty and
a contribution to the civilization of the
ago and for the purpose of perpetuating
tlie Institution of human liberty.
I appreciate that nothing which 1
can say will add to or detract from
the glory of their achievement, which
In Itself Is an enduring monument to
the patriotism and heroism of the
American soldier. Their sacrifice, however,
was not different from that which
lias been made throughout all of the \
ages by those lovers of liberty who be- '
Hove In a government which might
give to nil tlie people the right to life,
liberty and property. The love
liberty was not born In this couiLt^f? ,/|
ours. It was cradled along th\\ v
and about the shores rj^ . j w \\
even ^enI^^M11.c
.pfplYrpnse of The Coo1' 1 '
solion and v r ",ul looclloJ tho ,imlt
ejoi del Imperial grandeur. Increasing
In Intensity with the passing of tlifc.
centuries, It found Its highest expression
in the older countries in the great
i English charter of civil rights, which
I forcvor guaranteed to the people of
that land immunity from the despotism
' of those who claimed to rule by virtue
of Divine right.
' Ono hundred and thirty-two years
, 'ago the great contest of humanity was I
1
, transferred from the old world to the
now, and here, because of the Isola.
tlon of this country, because of the
high character of the man who es)
poused the causo of liberty and because
of the signal victory achieved
k by them in that struggle, an opportunity
was afforded to crystallize Into
j written law the aspirations of the pa
triots of all the nges. The men who
built the foundations of this govern
[ mcnt wcro those who had submitted
to the supreme tost of patriotism, for
- those who Inspired the constitution of
the United States were the same who
> had pledged their lives, their properl*
ties and their sacred honor to the causo
of independence.
While the primary object of a wrlt\
ten constitution is to define governmental
powers and to limit govern
mental departments, the overwhelming
necessity for such an instrument is to
i, prevent Insidious encroachments upon
d the rights of the Individual citizen,
botli from those In oQice and frojjq
those who by reason of their wealth
and power have an influence far great
or than that possessed by tlie average
citizen. And so the constitution of tlu
United States was regarded by ib
e framers as uu Instrument of the mos
* sacred Import, an alteration of whicl
^ could only bo made by the people theni
selves, in whom all ultimate power b
j vested, and then only after the fillies
as discussion uud widest publicity.

I 0 not perish from tho earth/'
c Our concern Is not of the past no
<. < Y
wholly with the proHMit, hut much
With the future. If the destiny of the
republic Is in the hands of the American
of today, then it becomes him to
Ik? guided and ptvcrncil only hy putil
otic Impulse and the dcsLre to do that
which will most largely contribute to
the permanency of republican Institutions.
Advancing our civilization so
that we will not, by recognizing tho
false claims of selfish interests and for
getting the American maxim that car
object should he to attain the greatest
good for the greatest number, incur the
penalty which other people have paid,
rather let ns hold ever In mind that
those who framed our government believed
In tho equality of the people and
that tho chief aim of government is to
maintain that equality.
Under our system of government the
nation has reached a material development
hitherto unknown. The people
have prospered beyond the dreams of
those who lived a century ago. Hut
with the development of the country
and changes in economic conditions,
and particularly with tho growth of
great priv: te corporations performing
many of tho functions of government,
has come the necessity for the exercise
of strict governmental control and, n
rigid enforcement of all the laws ennoted
t< restrain tho rich and powerful
from encroaching upon the natural and
legal rights of the poor and weak.
The constitution of the ancient republic
of ltome, which for 500 years
had recognized the voice of the people
as supre.no. was expanded by executive
interpretation and contracted by
executive administration until Home
had so completely outgrown its democratic
conditions as to become only a
tragedy and a tradition. Let us Implore
tho aid of him on high to preserve
us from tho errors which ruined
Home, by tho avoidance of which
America may travel on to that destiny
and realize that fulfillment which will
he the Inspiration of right thinking
men of all ages yet to come.
?Mir government Is divided into three I
separate ami ^ distinct co-ordinate
hranehes?the legislative, the cxceutivoi
and the Judicial. Danger will sure income
to this republic when any of
these departments of government attempt
in the slightest degree to/usurp
the functions of the other. And, while
now and then it may be that, a court
of the land in construing tho -constItu
tlon may nullify a section oC'tt. I have
the faith to feel that the "pcA'ple of the
country will rise above the fa nihility
of judicial tribunals and assert and preserve
their own right#. Our duty is
not to criticise the exochtiN \ the D,,jvc,
litfnro or tho Judiciary. I A-'.

it has established a principle, as stated
by one. member of the court, which
"would work a radical change in our
g< /cru.mcntul system and would Inaugurate
a new era in the American Judl
cial system and in the relations of the
national and state governments. It,
would enable the subordinate tuderal
courts to supervise and control the odiclal
action of tho states as though they
were dependencies or provinces. It:
would place the states of the I'ulon in
a condition of inferiority never droamj
cd of when the constitution was adoptlI

was made a part of (he supreme la_\v*

(his decision, it is, lo my mind, one of
the unhappy incidents in the history of.
