Remember, it is not now the poor, starved work. ers who are trying to say things on a street corner, but it is lawyers, editors, representatives of city and coun- ty governments who are under arrest for protesting against a judicial act. THE MATTER IS OF CONCERN TO THE WHOLE NATION. Shall the courts be king, with right to imprison the people as mere vassals? This is the question. We say NO!
