"Thr motor truck occupies one

Senator Borah ut the dinner oil

Club brought an awful indict-
ment against the people OF the
United States, This is it: We are
even now, in our youth, the most
lawless OF any ot the great civili-
zed natious. There is no coun.
try of q rs t lmportancs where
there is NO little respect for law
because it is the law"
This Indictment was presented
in the presence OF the President,
who is quoted by the New York
American AZ having said a few
years ago that ''our administra-
ton Of the criminal law is a dis
grace to civilization" and who
said, in following Senator Borahs
speech, II believe it is true that
we do not hold the law as sacred
as we should"

truth can be given than in the

upon the situation. "In view OF

Two remedies appear upon the
surface. The one il q sweeping

tiles and legal delays may not
void the operation ofthe law and
the infection of penalties. The
other is that representative men
OF wealth and influence should
not consider themselves beyond
the pale of the laws operation
and should not be SO considered
by the courts. When the fact
that the law seems unable to
reach influential persons is con-
sidered it il but natural that
a wide spread disgust with the
inequalities and injustice of the
law should result.
