PROUDLY CLAIM TO BE
CHAMPIONS OF DEMOCRACY

n tx
we proudly claim to be the cham
plons OF democracy. If we really are.
in deed and in truth, let us see to il
that we do not discredit our own. T
say plainly that every American who
takes part in the action of a mob or
gives il any sort of countenance is no
true son of this great democracy. bur
it's betrayer, and does more to dis.
credit her by that single disloyalty TO
her standards OF law and of right than
the words of her statesmen or the sac
riices OF her heroic boys in the
trenches can do TO make suffering peo-
Piles believe her to be their savior.
How shall we commend democracy to
the acceptance OF other peoples, il we
disgrace our own by proving that IL Is.
after all. no protection TO the weak?
Every mob contributes to German lies
about the United States what her most
gifted liars cannot improve upon by
the way Of calumny. They can at least
say that such things cannot happen in
Germany. except in times of revelation,
when law is swept away!
~ therefore. very earnestly and

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Prcside mt

addressed TO his fellow -countrymen de-
nouncinE mob spirit and mob action.
called upon tho nation TO show the
world that while it fights for democ-
racy on foreign fields IT is not de-
stroyinE democracy Al home.
The President referred. not alone TO
mob action against those suspected of
being enemy aliens or enemy sympa-
thtzers: nc denounced most emphati
eally mob action OF all sorts. especially
lynchings. and while he did not refer
specifically TO lynchings of negroes In
the South. II Is known that he included
them in his characterization of mob
spirit az "a blow AT the heart OF or
dered Law and humane justice"
II is known that the lynchings of
negroes. as we'll as attacks upon those
suspected of being enemies or sym
path!zevs. have been used by German
propaganda throughout Central and
South America well as Europe. TO
contend that the prctcnsons OF the
United States as a champion OF de-
mocracy arc a sham.
Deeply concerned by the situation.
tho President decided to address his
fellow-country and TO declare that
every mob contributes TO German lies
about the United States and what he-
most gifted liars cannot improve .pon
by way OF calumny."
PRESIDENT DECLARES
FoR RULE OF ORDER
The Presidents statement In fun
follows:
MY Fellow -Countrwmen:
taxa the i,borty of 49,,
upon subject which so vitany affects
the honor Of the nation and the very
character and integrity OF our ins,itu-
tons that / trust you will think me
justified in speaking very plainly
about II.
II allude TO the mob spirit which has
recently here and there very frequent
ly shown Its head amongst US. not in
any single region but in many and
widely separated parts OF the country.
There have been many lynchings. and
every one OF them has been blow al
the heart OF ordered law and humane
justice. No man who loves America,
no man who really cares for her fame
and honor. and character. or who Is
truly loyal TO her institutions. can
Justify mob action while the courts of
justice arc open and the governments
Of the States and the nation are read,
and able to do their duty. We are az
this very moment,fshting lawless pas
sion. Germany has outlawed herself
among the nations. because she has
dlsregarded the sacred obligations of
law and has made lynchers OF her
armies. Lynchers emulate her dis
graceful example. J. for my part. am
anxious TO see every community in
America rise above that level. with
pride and fixed resolution which no
man or set OF men can AFFORD to de-
spise.
