We must he patient In the work Of ss
similarion and studiously avoid 0ppres-
siye measures in the face OF mere
evidence of misunderstanding. The
necessity for the drastic laws of
war days is not present now.
and we should return at the
earliest opportunity, TO the statutory
provisions passed In time OF peace 10,
the general welfare. There is no con-
dition now that warrants any infringe
ment on the right OF free speech and
assembly nor on the liberty OF th.
press. The greatest measure of ind
vidual freedom consistent with the
safety of our institutions should be
given. Excessive regulation causes
manifestations that compel restraint
Law Enforcement
The legislative branch OF govern
ment Is subjected to the rule OF the
majority. The public official who fails
to enforce the law. is an enemy both
TO the Constitution and to the Ameri-
can principle of majority rule. II
would seem quite unnecessary for any
candidate for the Presidency to say
that he does not intend to violate his
oath Of Office. Anyone who Is false to
that oath Is more unworthy than the
law violator himself.
Morals cannot easily be produced
by statute. The writ of injunction
should not be abused. Intended as a
safeguard to person and property. II
could easily by abuse cease to be the
protective device 1t was intended to
be.
I'VE should not, by law, abridge
mans right either to labor or to quit
his employment. However, neither
labor nor capital should at any time
or in any circumstances, take action
that would put In jeopardy the public
| welfare.
"We need a definite and precise
statement of policy as to what bust
ness men and workingmen may do and
may not do by way Of combination
and collective action. The law Is now
so nebulous that 1t almost turns upon
the economic predictions Of the
judge or jury. This does not make
for confidence In the courts nor re-
spect for the laws, nor for a healthy
activity In production and distribu.
ton. There surely will be found ways
by which cooperation may be encour
aged without the destruction Of enter
prise. The rules Of business should
he made more certain so that on q
stable basis men may move with con
fidence.
Government, however, should pro
vide the means in the treatment o.
its employees, to keep in touch will

needless to say that in order to be con
sistent, facts should at all times JUS
tify the decomposition that the gov
eminent employees are properly com
pensated.
