The circumstances surrounding the
lynchinE at COlIinsville. H., of Rob
ert 2. PraeSer. an alleged pro-Ger-
man. brought the issue to a head. The
incident is decared to be a charac-
teristic example of 4 disposition by
the American people to settle prob
lens in their own way when the laws
are inadequate.
The seriousness with which the
subject was presented at the Cabinet
meeting is said to have emphasized
the determination of the President to
minimize disorders growing out of eX-
aggregated patriotic impulses. such as
have developed in various districts
recently.
In this connection Congress may be
asked to enact a statute. in addition
10 the proposed amendments to the
Espionage Act. which would make
anienable to the Federal Government
as well as to the state. all persons
who participate in mob violence
The purpose of the move to amend
the espionage law is to suppress the
seditious utterances of sOap-bOX ora
tors. and make possible the punish
ment of spies by severe penalty.
Attorney General Gregory and Post
master General BurlesOn Tema ined at
the White House with the President
for considerable uUle after other Cab
met members had been excused. On
leaving the Attorney General said:
"LynChing is not now a violation of
any Federal statute. The Department
Of Justice is prevented in this way of
making an example of misguided in
dividuals who blacKen the record of
the country by organizing mobs and
creating disorders.
Penalties Provided.
some Of the penalties provided in
the existing laws are absurd Spies
can not be given the punishment that
such crimes deserve. Only in the
most aggravated cases. under the
present laws can the death penalty
be invoked for this offense.'
p, trnaster General Burleson was in
entire sympathy with this phase of
the Administration policy. He said:
Americans are a patriotic people.
II they feel the laws are inadequate
IL has ben shown time after time

own We must take the necessary
steps to prevent such disorders be-
fore they gel Oeyonu pounds. Inc
population Of the country Is now
deeply stirred by war enthusiasm and

ity TO prevent this enthusiasm from

The charge made in the Senate on
Thursday that the pending amend
ments are intended as a further in
fringement on the liberties of the
press are ridiculous.
