AMERICANS ARE LOSING
FAITH IN THEIR REPUB-
Lie, B0RAH DECLARES
(continued from Page ono


Kansas City asserted that the league |
of nations was greater than the |
American republic. he stated the issue |
just as it is. Those who believe in |
the league of nations peneve the |
American system has failed. They |
believe 1t necessary to erect a super |
government, greater and more perfect |
than our republic The president has
accepted that doctrine and stated it to
the American people"
Referring to report that Secretary
Daniels had stated IN a speech that the |
league of nations would De remem
bered long after the American decla
ration of independence and consti
tuition are forgotten" Senator Borah
continued
THAT is the thought, consciously
or unconscious lying back in the
brains of those who are advocating
this league"
Answering Senator Borah, Senator
clared it was too far fetched to at
tempt to connect the league of ma
tions with race riots.
Cause of Race Clashes.
Race clashes, he said. were all due
to attempted outrages on white WON
en- By negroes.
81 will go in the pathways of
peace as far as any mani would be
willing to arbitrate almost any thing
except outrages on "a White woman by
black or white. / would surrender
him as a criminal beyond the pale to
the first crowd that came to get him.
1.-The conduct of the criminal at
Omaha deprives me of all inclination
and power to say one word against
the crowd that captured the criminal
and punished the crime. Race is
greater than law now and then and
protection of women transcends all
law, human and divine"
This miserable beast in Omaha
paid just debt for his crime. When
it comes to violating innocent wom-
en- it is no time to go to court. But
here we have been pleading for law
and order while helpless women are
being treated by beasts as they please,
and yet these same men don't want
any international law.
Seeks an Enduring Peace.
1.-THE senator speaks of established
law in the land and yet he's unwilling
to stand for established law in the
world.
Washington and jefferson sought
a Just and enduring peace. That is
what | seek in advocating the league
of nations"
Senator Borah made sharp reply to
Senator Williams discussing particu-
larly what the latter said concerning
lynchings. If lynchings were CON
fined, the Idaho senator contended,
to those incidents mentioned by the
senator from mississippi the human
race might be disposed TO pass them
by ON that reason.
Senator Borah SAID ms suggestion
that the league be mace partisan
question had been misunderstood

ing the republican party take a dei'-
mite stand against the league ana pre-
dicted the rank ana lie OF the parry
