itual sense when Christ is the ideal to be
attained. For examples he cited Paul

that that committee may be able to do
something that wall, under the lead OF

lection TO the cOlOred peOple OF TINS
country in their rights as Citizens"
A vigorous debate ensued, and some
highly significant statements were
made. In the course OF the discussion
Senator Chandler, chairman OF the Com
mittee on Pnvi eges and Elections,
thought it desirable TO be perfectly
franz. There is no power in Congress"
said he, "to prevent or punish crimes
committed il the various States. If
the States do not punish crimes, for the
punishment of which they have enact
ed laws, no Federal law can take the
place Of useless State laws" Mr. Cham
dler added there was no Federal law
under which the viOlatOr of even the
suffrage laws could be punished. Sen
stOr SDOOner Of Wisconsin, declared
that there Is such Federal legislation,
TO which Senator Chandler replied,
"There is not now such Legislation.
Congress has no constitutional power
to punish such cIimes."
The document was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary. Before
this was done MIR. SpOOner quoted the
sections Of the Revised Statutes which
provided penalties for violations OF the
Federal election laws.
Now thas Mr. Whites bill has been
introduced in The House, and the race
