a Senator Borah of Idaho has an
nounced his opposition to the anti
4 lSnching bill now before congress. He
declared that editors and members of
b., congress who favor the transfer of
d iopowers vested by the constitution in
states to the federal government were
lawless brothers of those who under
more trying circumstances joined the
mob and took the law into their own
hands. The nti-lynching bill he
characterized as Unconstitutional and
ineffective" "Shall the national gov
efnmcnt De authorized 10 ltke over
the police power of the state in whole
or.iin part?' asked Senator Borah.
There is no lodging the question. If
the people of this nation want to re-
Distribute the powers Of the govern
onfent, let's face the question through
- q constitutional amendment and put
an end to this constant pressure on
congressman to disregard their oaths
and the equally persistent pressure on
the supreme court to give us a court
made constitution. Year after year
congress is lashed into passing laws
which are manifestly unconstitutional,
and it, has come to be a settled prn-
ciple apparently that the congress
should disregard the constitution and
leave the supreme court alone to pro-
tcct it. To my mind, such ii rule is
so utterly shameless, so utterly intOl-
cradle, that it is startling that it
should be urged even spasmodically."
