for all the country. I am very mucl,
concerned about that case with which
many or us excuse unlawful acts It
Is not In the interest Of any particular
race TINT legislation to protect citizens
In their lives should be placed upon
the statute books. We boast of a coun
try of law and order extended to MI
citizens alike. This bill Is primarily II,
the interest Of respect for law and or.
dor and one Of the things that in my
Judgment is our greatest danger in
America as well rs In other parts OF
the world; is that we are looking with
too much leVity upon brutality tina,
respects no law by defiantly taking tho
law into their own hands and stamp
ing upon all regulated authority
Whenever anyone excuses an act thai
is not lawful no matter what the pro
vocation may be, he invites the col
lapse OF all authorized government.
He Is opening door to lawlessness,
the extent Of which no man can now
soc. And it Is in that respect that I
say that our own country can not af-
ford to allow such lawlessness as here
in revealed in any spot or section Of
the land. TO permit Tire Practice OF
recounted in tho report Of this COM
mttttee Is simply incredible. While 1t
is unfortunate that many of our Nom.
bership here charge that tho legisla-
ton Is designed to be sectional, it IS
not so, except as the occurrences seem
sectional. But so far rs am concern
ed. ! want to prevent this crime Of law
leSSneSS wherever It occurs.
II say that no one can study the
movement recently out Mt Omaha
where all Government authority gave
way to the mob spirit without befns
impressed with the danger confronting
us. Some people have been quoted
more or less in defense Of that crime
That IS tire real danger-the attitude
Of so many people on such occurrence.
eS. Such q movement as that becomes
not only matter Of enormity be-
cause OF what was done but OF still
greater enormity because some people
are willing to excuse the doing of the
very things that the civilization of
this dry condemns and ought to make
impossible for all time. I am not 20
. ing to put the matter upon the basis OF
any obligation that has been made IN
the terms Of any political platfor a.
nor by tire candidate for President by
. any party. nor upon the suggestion OF
distinguished authorities in history.

ststs this legislation would protect its
citizens against tho unlawful act OF

ITO apply the law where tho crime
occurs Is not sectional. II it occurs in

not the law. This Nation can not con

crime because its remedy would be
charged as sectional. Law 10 never sec

we simply say to all States in SIM
