T wonder, sometimes, however. if perhaps a little more support to our laws could not be given in one direction. If, instead of the glamor of romance and herosm, which our American imaginative minds too frequently throw around those who break the law, We would invest with a little romance and heroism those thousands of our of ticers who are endeavoring to en- force the law it would itself de- crease crime. Praise and respect for those who prope.y enforce the laws and daily condemnation of those who defy the laws would help. Perhaps a little better proportion- ed balance of news concerning those criminals who are convicted and punished would serve 10 instill the fear or the law
 For Freedom of Press
 T need not repeat that absolute freedom Of the press to discuss pub
 lie questions is a foundation stone of American liberty. put the ques ton, however, to every individual conscience. whether tlippance is a useful or even legitimate device in such discussion.
 T do not believe it is. Its effect lis as misleading and distorting of public conscience as deliberate mis- representation. Not Clarfcation, but confusion of issues arises from it.
 Our people for many years have been intensely absorbed in business.
 In the astonishing upbuilding of a great country, and We have attempt ed to specialize in our occupations, Ito strive to achieve in our own specialties and to respect competen- Icy of others in theirs. Unconscious ly, we have carried this psychology
 into our state of mind toward gov ernment.
 We tend to regard the making Of laws and their administration as a function of group by specialists in government whom we hired for this purpose and whom we call public servants. Alter nlFlng them II IS our purpose casually to review their ac- tions, to accept those which we ap- prove, and 10 reject the rest. This attitude Of mind is destruc- tive 10 elt-government, for self government is predicated upon the 1 fact that every responsible citizen | will take his part in the creation of law. obedience 10 law, and selection Of officials and methods for it's en- forCement.
 Finally, I wish 10 again reitcrate
 that the problem Of law enforce
New Britain herald., 1929-04-22

ment is not alone a function or bus mess of government. If law can be upheld only by enforcement officers. then our scheme Of government is at an end. Every citizen has a per sonal duty in 1.-the duty to order his own actions, to so weigh the ef- feet of his example, that his con- duct shall be a positive force in his community with respect to the law.
 No Criticism Of Press
 T have no criticism 10 make of the American Press. I greatly ad- mire it's emphasis to one phase or another of our national problems, but 1 realize the difficulties under which it operates. l am wondering whether the time has not come. how ever. to realize that we are confront cd with a national necessity of the first degree. that we are not suffer- ing from an ephemeral crime wave, but from subsistence of our foundations
 Possibly the time is at hand for the press to systematically demand and support the reorganization of our law-entorcement machinery-feder- al, state and local--so that crime may be reduced, and on the other hand, 10 demand that our citizens shall wake to the fundamental con- sciousneess Of democracy which is that the laws are theirs and that every responsible members of democracy has the primary duty to obey the law.
 Tt is unnecessary for me 10 argue the fact that the very essence of freedom is obedience to law: that liberty itself has but one foundation, and that is in the law.
 Tn conclusion, let me recall an oft-repeated word from Abra m Lincoln, whose invisible presence lives hourly at the very desk and in very halls which it is my honor to occupy.
 Let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood Of his father. and 10 tear the character of his own and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be
