There can be nothing i'll the words.
support the Constitution If you may
run counter to it by refusing support
to any right established under the
Constitution. And what I say here
will hold with still more force against
the Judges doctrine of "unfriendly
legislation"
Lastly | would skis not Con-
gress, itself, under obligation to give
legislative support to any right that
IS established under the United States
Constitution? A member of Congress
swearS to support the Constitution
of the United States, and if he sees
right established by that Constitu-
ton which needs specific legislative
protection. can he clear his oath
without giving it that protection?
At Quincy. Illinois, October i, 1858.
i'll this same series of debates Lincoln
said:
If you withhold that necessary leg
islation for the support of the Con-
stitution and constitutional rights. do
you not commit perjury? ask every
sensible man if that is not so? That
is undoubtedly just so, say what you
please
These statements of Lincoln are pc
culiarly appropriate for the consideration
Of those legislators in states like New
York and Maryland, where they have no
codes at present. These
officials, before they assumed office, were
required to take an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States The
people will observe the manner in which
they respect this constitutional obligation.

any information which he has of the COM
mission of an offense against the law"
An awakened public sentiment is es-
sential to successful law enforcement.
Lincoln declared, with public sentiment
nothing can fail; without it, nothing can
succeed. Consequently he who molds
public sentiment goes deeper than he who
enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.
He makes statutes and decisions possible
to be executed" In one of his immortal
speeches, made at Springfield, Illinois,
long before he aspired to the presidency
Of the nation, Lincoln said:
Let every American, every lover OF
liberty, every we'll wisher to his pos
terity, swear by the blood of the Rev
olution never to violate in the least
particular the laws of the country,
and meyer to tolerate their violation
by others. AS the patriots of sew
enty-six did to the support of the
Declaration of Independence, so to
the support of the Constitution and
laws let every American pledge his
life, his property and his sacred
honor Let every man remember
that to violate the law is TO trampIc
on the blood Of his father, and to tear
the charter of his own and his chill
dren's liberty. Let reverence for the
laws be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that pratt
ties on her lap; let it be taught in
schools. i'll senlinaries. and in col
leges; let it be written in primers,
spelling books and ainlanacs; let it
be preached from the pulpit; pro-
claimed in the legislative halls, and
enforced in the courts of justice. In
short, let it become the political re-
ligion of the nation.

GirI-Suicide

NORFOLK, Va, June 1.-THE
veil of mystery cloaking the wom-
an who was found lying across the
bulkhead at Ocean Park yesterday
morning, dead from a bullet wound
in the head, is lifted today as re-
suit of long distance telephone
message from Richmond tentatively
identifying her as Miss Marie Stahl
of that city.
The Princess Anne county au-
thorities, in the light Of inforna-
ton received from Richmond, have
abandoned all theories of foul play
and reached the conclusion that
death was self-inflictCA. Miss Stahl,
according to advices from Rich
mond, had been in failing health
for several months. She came to
Norfolk a few days ago.
Tuesday night Frank Stahl, of
Richmond, is reported to have re-
ceived a special delivery letter from
his sister intimating that she had
decided upon death as the only
avenue open to her for escape from
the miseries of constant illness.

the Parker House, Boston's historic
hosiery and birthplace of the

to wreckers, several of its traditional
sections may be preserved by faith
full friends as relics of the past.
Plans call for the restoration of the
mirror room--the big main floor din
ing room-in its entirety. This may
be set up in an inn, not far from
Boston.
Restoration Of the crystal room,
the noted banquet hall. also is under
consideration 1t may become the

Some Of the mantels and other in
terror finishings have been sold as
relics. The finishing of the reading
room the writing room and the sec
ond floor ladies' room have been pre-
served so that these mahogany rooms
NAV be rebuilt in the new hotel
which will open in 1927.

passed a winter under it's roof and
his rooms have been maintained as
a literary shrine. In 1875, President
Grant and several members of his
Cabinet were guests there. Among
others were Patti. Bernhardt. Ada
