[ have no desire to escape full re-

also add that a large majority
of Democrats and Republicans OF

As for the men whom l have

While | have tried to avoid as

participation in the discussions

Record will, think, show that
I have done more talking on the
floor of the House the seven years

by the Honorable Claude kitch

mittedly one Of the ablest deba.

seven years of his service in Con.

| have discharged these duties, |
am willing to abide by the un-
biased Judgment OF an intelligent
public.
The fact that my record in Con-
gpss was endorsed by the recent
Democratic Convention of North
Carolina without a dissenting

~ SoO cAS SSuAO OnSSh oAAA oA"s
When we think of the pro-Ger-
mans in this country, OF the trai-
tors in America who are doing
what they can to help Germany
and to hurt the home Of their
birth or adoption; who are gull
~ OF sabotage or other offences
that would our forces on land
and sea; the explosions and fires
that cause loss of property and
life; the attempt to poison-all
the numerous things that have
been done by Germans and Ger
man sympathzers in, this coun'
try; when we consider these
things the blood boils and the
feeling is strong that these peo-
pie deserve death by the mostdi-
rect and shortest method. The
court martial seemed to offer the
remedy. In a military court there
are none Of the delays that so
often block the laws course iu
the civil courts and delayHustice.
But on sober reflection we must
concede that the President is
right. Not only is there grave
doubt as to the constitutional.
ty of the proposed law, but in
character, as the President says,
"it would put us nearly upon the
level of the very people we are
fighting and affecting to dispise.
1t would be altogether inconsist-
ent with the spirit and practice
OF America"
When the blood runs hot and
the feeling of hate take posses
sion, all Of US would be law-brea.
kers if we yield to our feeling. Of
ten, probably in the majority OF
cases, the victims of mobs get
only what they richly deserve,
but that does not excuse he mob
Y and as lawlessness begets lawless
b ess, the action Of the mob in the
execution of criminals who de-
serve death is as dangerous, if
not more dangerous, to the peace
and safety of society, as the act
of the criminal.
Therefore, while the courtmar-
tial would more quickly and
promptly dispose Of the disloyal,
tw uld at the same time tend
to build up military courts that
would he dangerous. 1t is not
sympathy for the offenders, but
the proposed'm method of dealing
with them is too dangerous q
precedent
The Presidents opposition has
settled the court martial bill, and
it is well. The duty devolvine
upon our citizenship is not tc
spend time in denouncing the dis
loyal and the government for not
bringing them to trial, but te
aid the government by helping
to secure evidence and speed ur
the trial of real and not imagi
nary Offences. Many of the lou d
est critics OF the failure OF th
government to take action az
ainst alleged traitors, are no
willing to bear witness about tn
things they have heard, or max
report to an officer.
Another thing is that while ha
tired of our enemies is natural ant
proper, We must not allow tn
feeling Of hate to 10 take possess
ion OF US that we forget to b.
just. Many of the reports W
we hear OF disloyalty may not b
true. We should be sure to hav
the proof, before making charges
80 that injustice or injury ma.
not be done, and above all "
must guard against becoming g
filed with hatred that we sho ul
he tempted ito engage in th
deeds OF friehtfulness by whic
the German military forces hav
shocked the world and have sun
below the level OF barbarians.
