nave altoSether rejected the suggestion OF
special executive policy Tor any section OF
our country. IL Is the duty OF the Executive TO
! administer and enforce in the methods and by
the instrumentalities pointed out and provided
by tho constitution all tho laws enacted by
Congress. These laws are general and their
| administration should bo uniform and equal.
AS citizen may not elect what laws ho will
obey. neither may the Executive elect which
how'll enforce. Tho duty to obey ard execute
embraces tho Constitution in its entirety and
tho whole codo OF laws enacted under it. The
evil example OF permitting Individuals corpo-
rations or communities to nullify the laws bo-
cause they cross some selfish or local interests
or prejudices is full OF danger, not only to the
nation at large. but much moro to those who
use this pernicious expedient TO escape their
Just obligations or to obtain an unjust advan-
tagc over others. They will presently thom-
protection, and those who would uso tho law rs
a defence must not deny that use of it to
others.
II our great corporations would moro scru-
pulously observe their loyal obligations and

OF violent Interference with their operations.
