There have been cases which have arisen in the Supreme Court of the United States where the State supreme court have refused to record decrees of the Supreme Court of the United States. There has always been. and there will always be. more or less of conflict between this jurisdiction. and the better plan is to keep them separate. to start that way. not mix them up. not having one set of judges to decide on Federal questions and the same judges to decide on local questions. Now. in regard to the counterfeiting of coins. in regard to illicit distilling. in regard to the illegal importation of contract labor against the laws of the United States. or in the enforcement of our immigration laws. by which improper persons are shipped off and sent back to the country from which they came. at the charge and expense of the line of ships or the ship that brought them. can we not see at once that in cases of that kind the local court might be very much disposed to lean in favor of the local law enacted by the local legislature and supported by the taxation of the people who are interested in having this law violated or administered in some slack and imperfect way? Can not we understand that? This commission.
