Premier Peter A. Stolypln died to

he suffered greatly and finally his

people for now twenty yenrs, that of

They nro epoch-making, and tho pub

effect that those decisions nro certnln
to have. It is not that tho construc
tion which tho court has put upon

most members of tho profession, nnd
most subordinate courts, nnd indeed,
the supremo court itself, had before
indicated an tho proper construction
of the statute; but it in that H is now

Nothing in further from the triith.
When tho sta.tuto wns pnsscd In
