"Rather | it is one to invite the anger of established interests. "With tlie utmost rare that can lie exercised by the executive offices and the legislators throughout the nation, and with the nt most good will, it is bound to cause Individual hardship and to grieve the friends of many worthy causes.: "Nevertheless the duty is inex- 1 orable, and its discharge rests inescapably upon all public offl 1 cers.
